Nominative determinism

Nominative determinism (ND) is the hypothesis that a person's name may have a significant role in determining key aspects of job, profession, or even character. Writing in 1953, Carl Jung gave the example of a food minister named Herr Feist ("Mr Stout"). He also mentioned his own last name and that of fellow psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, which respectively, mean "young" and "joy" in German. He pointed out that these are potential examples of what he called the compulsion of the name, considering Freud's pleasure principle and Jung's idea of rebirth.
