This may be because in classrooms, for example, they&#8217;re called upon first, have their names mentioned first when they co-author something, or even have their names on the tops of ballots when they run for office.<\/li>\n<li>This helps explain why, in the past century, only six American Presidents have had a surname from the latter half of the alphabet.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;re also more likely to marry people whose names resemble our own.<\/li>\n<li>Children in conservative states get weirder names \u2013 such as &#8220;Serenity&#8221; or &#8220;Londyn&#8221; \u2013 than children in liberal ones. This might be because conservative mothers tend to be younger and thus may be more adventurous in their choice of names.<\/li>\n<li>In Germany, at least, having a noble sounding name \u2013 like Furst (&#8220;Prince&#8221;) \u2013 leads to better life outcomes.<\/li>\n<li>For male CEOs having a simple informal name \u2013 like Mark \u2013 seems to be an advantage. It makes them seem less intimidating, allowing people to be more comfortable around them.<\/li>\n<li>For female CEOs however a more complicated name \u2013 like Marissa \u2013 seems to be advantageous. This might be because it makes them seem more professional.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The full article has many more fascinating details, and as with all articles from Cracked has a good deal of humour in it.
