Leggs, not my point.
Based on name alone.
Do you assume tyrone is a chinese boy?
Do you assume Dexter is a 6'4" thick jock.
Or do you assume, its a black man and a nerd?
Well said.
Id hate to think a name forces the individual into a certain stereotype.
But that dosent stop people from viewing it that way.
A creepy guy named adolph.
The stuck up bitch named
Lovely Angel.
The guy named bif.
6'4" blonde, blue.
Names mean nothing, but most people will make an association.
Certain names just sound attractive?

Perhaps from our first impressions of people we knew with a name.
Well like for me, the name "Danielle" just screams "bitch."
Yet the male version, "Daniel" are some of the coolest I have ever known.

black man and nerd.
Sometimes it seems a person's name almost causes them to be a certain way.
I mean you probably don't find too many white collar workers with names like Ichabod or Dequan.
It is like astrology though - fun to speculate but not based on solid facts
