Two American studies and English to a survey analyzing the choices of three thousand families by comparing them with the development of children. "The way we call it a symbol. Influence the attitude of others
KEVIN, Maicol, Eva, Ridge, Suellen, Jonathan: the Italian registry is full of names like these, but luckily often even the most traditional Gabriele, Mark, Anna and Francesca. The name goes is in fact more important than you might think according to the science and have a musical and stylish not only helps feel safer but predisposes people positively towards us.
Professor David Son of Northwestern University, in Illinois, was able to demonstrate, by analyzing the choices of baptism of 3000 families, what we all suspected: easier by virtue of a doubt that a Jessica Gertrude, without saying more Alex is a modern than a Savior. It matters little what they do and these people really think, our brain sends and receives impulses and impressions as soon as it is pronounced.
"The way we call it is a symbol, a mirror - the psychiatrist explains Alessandro Meluzzi - and it is our business card in front of the rest the world. The sound that recalls the meaning and directly affect the behavior of others towards us, and this in turn has effects on our neuroendocrine circuits: as the case is encouraged the production of oxytocin, dopamine and endorphins. In short we can say that the name that is given to us influences our development. "

The average age of sports with the "D" was found to be 69.2 years, the name in "A" of 73.4 and that of any other of 71.3. Rank also interesting that concerning the professions: psychologists have discovered the peculiar play of assonance why Lawrence ("law" means law), they become the principles of hole, while the Dennises have a destiny to dentists. Who knows, maybe our brains, sophisticated as it is, decides to follow the genetic signature voice from day one it accompanies, and is limited.
