A new study has found that people tend to alter their appearance to suit their names. The researchers sought to determine whether parents choose a baby name based on what seems fitting for the baby's appearance, or if individuals' facial appearances change over the years to align with the social stereotypes associated with their names.

      God, I didn’t understand why people liked that album at first, but it grew on me and now it’s one of my favorite albums (I think I like Speaking in Tongues more, but they’re both amazing).
