//But is there any evidence to suggest that your name can determine your job?
The researchers found that people named Dennis or Denise tend to become dentists at a higher rate than people of other equally popular names
Brett Pelham, a psychology professor at Montgomery College in Maryland, US, certainly thinks so. “Your name determines aspects of your life,” says Pelham, who has spent decades researching implicit egotism. He believes this phenomenon “is not a fluke; it is real.”//

Balderdash. I was adopted. I had an original 'birth name' and a name chosen by my adoptive parents. Does that make me in some way conflicted?
