Can you guess people's names easily by their looks?

18 Comments

It happens to me all the time, I see a person and I just know what their first name is. I mean, not every person I see, but a lot.

The first time it happened to me, I was like 5 and I was at a community swimming pond and I saw this kid and immediately I knew his name was Darren. Lo and behold, his mom called his name and it was Darren!

I frequently see distinct similarities in people with the same name. They could look nothing alike but there is just something I see that indicates their name to me and relates them all to eachother.

Ever since the pond incident it just kept happening. Wondering if it happens a lot to others?

Yepp!! I get that a lot. 32
Eh, maybe once or twice but not regularly. 42

      This is the only place I've seen it written and I've never heard anyone actually say it out loud (or at least I don't think I have). I'm not even sure I know exactly what it means; I thought it was something like "meh" or "whatever".

          Nope, I was plagued by a troll who would go through all of my comments and give them all a thumbs down regardless of what I wrote. Awesome, eh.

    sometimes yes. I can often guess a persons looks based on talking on the phone...maybe its just some form of small psychicness.

    I hate when people try to guess my name because I look... Different. I'm Asian but I look kinda American so they always say Amanda! Or Kristen! My names Yuma so stop trying.

    I often know peoples names when I meet them just by seeing them, but I'm also very psychic, but I don't quite think that's the reason, I believe the name somewhat sculpts the person, as such 95% of all 'Nick's you meet will always be an asshole.

    Naw cuh, lol. Nah, seriously, I do it so much that my friends tested me. I got some wrong but I was still so good at it that, to this day, they think I'm cheating.
