Nominative Determinism
Can your name determine your future? The hypothesis of nominative determinism suggests that people gravitate towards careers that fit their names (e.g., Usain Bolt running fast). While controversial, it highlights the power a name holds over our identity.
The Cycle of Name Popularity
Names go in 100-year cycles. Names that your grandparents found "old" are now "vintage and cool" (like Olive or Arthur). A "rare" name today might be a top 10 name in 2030. Our algorithm checks current global databases to see where you stand right now.
Psychology of Unique Names
Studies show that people with unique names often grow up to be more adaptable and creative, possibly because they learn to navigate social introductions and correct pronunciations from a young age!
