Ooh, I love this question. Let’s do both:

Research Backs It: Names Carry Energy

If you’ve ever felt like a name has a certain vibe or personality, you’re not alone—and you’re not wrong. Here’s a quick breakdown of research that supports the idea that names influence who we are and how we’re seen:

1. Sound Symbolism (The Bouba-Kiki Effect)

People associate certain sounds with certain feelings. Names with soft, rounded sounds (like L, M, S, O, N) often feel gentle or poetic. Names with sharp consonants (like K, T, R) feel more energetic or edgy.

2. The Name-Letter Effect

We’re often drawn to letters and sounds that appear in our own names—affecting everything from career choices to favorite words.

3. Implicit Egotism Studies

People may gravitate toward roles or environments that align with the emotional tone of their own names. “Dennis the dentist” isn’t just a coincidence—it’s been studied.

4. Sociological Bias and Name Perception

Names trigger assumptions. They influence how others treat us and what’s expected of us. Some names are viewed as more trustworthy, creative, bold, or refined—and people often lean into those perceptions.

So yes—your belief that names carry a certain energy or shape someone’s identity?

It’s not just intuitive—it’s deeply human, and backed by years of research.
