A recent survey of 2,000 Americans found that many people form opinions about others based on their first name. In fact, about 18% of those polled said they make assumptions about someone based on their name alone.

This tendency to judge others by their name is more prevalent among certain age groups, with Gen Z and millennials being the most likely to jump to conclusions.

Further details about the survey, including the names that are most often associated with negative connotations, are available from the source. The survey's findings provide insight into how people perceive and judge others, often without even meeting them.
