| Names & Jobs - nominative determinism |
| Written by Mark Millard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

People picking careers related their names, for example:
Carl Jung in his work on Synchronicity wondered 'Are these whimsicalities of chance or are they meaningful coincidences?'. One theory is that because people are primed to like their own names they are naturally attracted to things that sound similar. Which may explain the many dentists called Dennis and lawyers called Lawrence.
