Do you think people with the same name look alike? While researchers claim our faces evolve to match our names, we compare celebrities Ryan, Kate, Harry and Arianas

Several studies have found that our names change the way people judge our personality, age, and more.

In a study published May 8, scientists at Syracuse University in New York asked 500 college students to rate 400 popular names over 70 years.

The questions were asked in the format: ‘Imagine you are about to meet Samantha. How competent/warm/old do you think she is when you see her name?’

The scientists used their results to assess which names were perceived as competent, warm, or a combination of both.

Below are the results:

Warm and competent names

Ann, Anna, Caroline, Daniel, David, Elizabeth, Emily, Emma, ​​Evelyn, Felicia, Grace, James, Jennifer, John, Jonathan, Julie, Kathleen, Madeline, Mark, Mary, Matthew, Michael, Michelle, Natalie, Nicholas, Noah, Olivia, Paul, Rachel, Samantha, Sarah, Sophia, Stephen, Susan, Thomas, William

Warm but less competent names

Hailey, Hannah, Jesse, Kellie, Melody and Mia

Competent but less warm names
