Do you think first names can reflect your personality?

Maybe the opinions reflect who you have known.

This is the problem with being a teacher naming a baby. So many memories of a range of children. I taught a few Garys and would never have chosen that name.

My own name will always be linked to a certain prime minister I fear.

Barbaras are competent and practical - (I’m not one!)
Elizabeths are reliable, Lizes are more dashing and dynamic and Libbys trendier.
Freds, Bills and Roberts likewise- invaluable in a house or garden crisis.

No, I don't. But it might influence how others perceive you.

I'm Mary, which I think has connotations of being plain, sensible and boring.
I sincerely hope I'm the opposite!!!! ?

Crikey the Paul I knew was absolutely chaotic. Lovely but certainly not thoughtful. grin

Sometimes that seems to be the case. Susans always seem to be sensible and reliable, for example. Pauls seem to be meticulous and thoughtful. A load of old rubbish probably but maybe not?
