Talk about nominative determinism...

I wonder how nominative determinism works across languages. Given enough languages and names, one is bound to come up with any number of people whose life is nominatively determined.

I have an uncommon name for someone of my generation and the net effect is that people would often take me for someone more sophisticated than I am in reality.
