Is Your Name 'Spiky' Or 'Round'?

We think of people's names as SHAPES based on how the names sound??!!

A cognitive psychologist from London and a psycholinguist just found that people connect different SHAPES to different NAMES, according to BBC.com.

If your name has B sounds, M sounds, L sounds, or O sounds, people will associate it with a round shape.

If your name has K sounds, T sounds, P sounds, or I sounds, people will associate it with a spiky shape.

And it's not just shapes . . . it's also personalities.  We assume people with round-shaped names are more agreeable and more emotional . .
. and people with spiked names are more outgoing and have more energy.
