Those names are so common that I know so many different people! And is there really a correlation between a name and their looks?Hmm

It's just for fun but you sucked the fun right out of it already

Sophia, always imagine to be tall, sporty with long brown hair!

Francesca, petite girl, short thin hair. A soft and gentle soul.

Jennifer, I can never imagine a Jennifer grown up. I always imagine quite a punky teen, bright hair colour, lots of piercings and a good giggle to be around!

I am quite rubbish at this game. I know a Jennifer and she was nothing like this growing up.
Isn't it strange how when you think of a name you think of a character. Maybe it is just me!

My youngest DD(3) the name I picked for her, I imagined her to be quiet, dainty and quite timid...I got that very wrong! Smile

@Iputthescrewinthetuna thank you for joining in and not taking it too seriously but yes, I think of people being a certain way when I hear a name and that's why I put this idea out there just out of curiosity :)

Matthew - wholesome, ordinary boy
Isaac - free thinker
Francis - introvert who tires of correcting people's pronunciation of his name
Zachary - cool musician type
Oliver - chorister
Charlie - wonders why he wasn't called Charles
John - bit boring
Joel - wannabe actor
Lewis - serious
