What’s in a name?Your fate could have been entirely different if you had been given a different name at your birth.Some of us recognize that our name does not necessarily fit and start using a different name rather than the one we were given.Many of us choose to use our middle name so we can be true to our parents,and at the same time be more confident.Some people who have changed their name claim that their professional lives improved .They feel better about themselves so they are more likely to achieve more .But those who have changed their names are not just being overly sensitive.Name themselves convey some information causing others to make judgment based solely on them .Here is an example :A magazine declined to print a writer’s name simply because the editor thought it suited a baseball player more than an art critic .Another example:A women at a party became embarrassed when she wanted to be introduced to a man she had declined because of his name .One study showed tha
