Do people’s names affect their personality? You see those names on a class list at the start of the year and there is definitely a heart-sinking moment. Because I was named Adrienne, growing up I felt like it gave me licence to be unique. It made me very sure to spell and pronounce other peoples names properly; it seems disrespectful to do otherwise. Please give every exotically named child an additional plain name to fall back on.
