I’d be interested to know if people who live in towns or have jobs that sound like their names enjoy these residences/careers more than people who live in the same town/have the same career, but have different-sounding names.
You might still not get meaningful results. Having grown up in Shelton, CT (Huntington, specifically) I find I prefer things and people called “Shelton”, “Huntington”, or “Connecticut”. I’m not sure if I would have more of a preference for a place that sounds like my name than for those places.
Though it’s all fairly irrelevant since New Haven is the greatest city in the world.
