Especially for men, they found that one syllable names tended to bring in the bigger bucks. The highest earner among male names was Dirk, earning an average of €120,200, with other onesies also scoring high on the income hierarchy. In the case of two syllable names, the average salary dropped to €79,752.

"The goal of our study was a new perspective on the topic of salary and salary factors,” she wrote.”We still see strong salary differences between men and women.
