Can Your Name Affect Your Personality?

   This article seems to think that a child's name doesn't affect their personality. They give an example where a child named Winner grew up to lead a life of crime and a child named Loser grew up to graduate from collage and become a Sargent in the local police department. So were their actions effected by their names or were they just born to do those things?
   I think that it is simply impossible to tell if your name affects your personality. It's not like you were ever without your name so there really isn't a way to tell if you change by what your name is. I guess one could make the argument of people who change their names and how it might be because they feel that their personality didn't match up to their name, but other than that I really don't see how one could even try to experiment with this question.
