Does what I am called represent who I am?
First names and identity
An intercultural online survey

Aim of study: With the following online survey we examine whether people can identify with their names. What does the name mean? Do you like your name? Do you think it suits you?

Cultural comparisons: The online study is conducted in six different countries, which differ widely in the naming process. In South Korea for example, names are created for a person, whereas it is more common in Brazil and Germany to choose names from a book or follow family traditions.
