How to choose a name? The name-letter effect

[Cindy]

I was reading an article that in summary references the practice that when you ask people, in a blind study situation, their favourite alphabet letters, that they choose letters associated with their names.

It struck me that it could be fun to use it in reverse for those of us choosing a new name.

When I tried it I picked nicyd. Sorry lying! I'm emphasising the difficulty of doing this in a situation that is not blind to the participant.

Maybe we can put together a blind test with random questions and throw one in every now and again asking for a letter? Ok, unlikely but I thought is was an interesting.

Maybe try it out on a friend?
