Not singling anyone out. No need to reveal your names.

Do you think names tell you about people?

Without picking on anyone else... what might your name say about you?

I'm common. There were three of us in my school with the same christian name and surname. I've worked with another two over the years.

No chance of ever tracking me down on Facebook without my mobile number - of the 7.6bn people on earth I think at least 500m share my name.

Depends if it's my full first name or my shortened version?

I guess my full Christian name would indicate to some that I could be a posh bird, especially coupled with where I'm from.

Shortened?? Not sure really

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact

People think my real name is cool and often think it's not my real name and then proceed to ask what is it short for. When I explain it isn't short for anything I am often then asked 'does it mean anything?' They crack up and/or are bemused when I explain the origin of it all and it is in fact nonsense.

"Your birth name says nothing about you. It says rather more about your parents, however. "

Do some people find they live up to their names? Or rather do some people have certain preconceptions surrounding certain names so treat people a certain way? I'm thinking in Indian culture names and caste have a strong lineage? But I'm also thinking there are more base prejudices surrounding British names too.

That my parents were a bit bohemian/alternative/pretentious (delete as appropriate). I have never met anyone with my name who is older than me, but there are plenty of 10 year olds and under. I think it's a bit common now, which is hilarious considering the reasons my parents chose it in the first place.
