Psych Papers

Sep 4 2023 • 23 mins

How important is your name to your identity? In this episode, we review the history of names and our follow-up research on how much people like their names; whether name length influences name liking; and which boys’ names and girls’ names would win in a fight.

We found that people tend to like their names more when they are longer (more characters); and that names like Anthony and Brianna would be most likely to win in a fight.
