Weird topic, but it’s something that just crossed my mind.
There are certain names that I’ll hear people introduce themselves as, and I almost unquestioningly don’t like or distrust that person, for no other reason that their first name strikes a chord with me.
One said name is Peggy. I hear that name and immediately have a problem with a person by that name. One of my managers at my last job was named that, and I immediately distrusted her, then she actually proved herself not to be trusted. And after dealing with her, I thought back and almost anyone I met with this name was untrustworthy.
I also had a problem with the name Brandon. I’ve met some exceptions since, but I had problems with several people growing up named Brandon, so it was just a name that immediately struck a chord with me for a long time.
So what names do you have that just turn you off from certain people? On the obverse, what names actually warm you up to certain people faster?
XD I actually dont have a predisposition towards any names except for Molly, as that is the name of my evil baby’s mom and has ruined it for any Molly i ever meet from here til the end of time
I always warm up to other people who spell their names “Jon” when it isn’t short for Jonathon. Strangely very few were of scandanavian descent and afaik neither am I.
Mostly just internet handles that I dont trust. Handles like Missing Person, NickGuy0320, Arachnofiend, Joshkaz, Stark, and Ouroborus. For some reason I just cant trust people with handles like this. You know what I mean?
I also dont trust people that have internet handles spelled in all caps.
I don’t trust anyone that’s named after a car or a fruit. Started by meeting random chicks named Mercedes, Alexus (no bullshit), Porschia, and Peaches.
