Hypothesis People do look like their names, no matter what their age, race, or gender. Introduction Names are a distinct part of our culture. Everyone has some kind of name to represent them. In some cultures, people have many names and in others only 1 or 2. Names can represent a person's religious or cultural background, their family, or values or virtues that that person or their parents believe in.
Many names have meanings.
Some names come from objects, like Lily, Dove or Honey. Other names come from values or virtues that person's parents have and want to pass on to their children, such as the Puritan names Prudence, Preserved, Charity and Learned. Some names come from a person's religion. Peter and Mary are Christian names. John and Michael are Hebrew.
