During experiment conducted in the UK 7,000 people were asked about their perceptions of peoples names. Supposedly the results are an indication that people are somehow influenced by stereotypes when meanings are assigned to names.

Though most of us are intelligent enough to realize that this is all subjective as there are tons of people with the same name and very different personalities, the findings on whether a high rated name and it's tie to professional advantages is still inconclusive.

Here is how some names are perceived:

Most Successful: James, Elizabeth, Caroline, Richard, Michael, Helen, Olivia, William, Andrew and Amanda
