Please Help Me By Participating in This Experiment?

I am doing an experiment to find out how people perceive names.

Now imagine that there are 12 people behind a wall. You cannot see these people. You have not yet met these people, and you know nothing about them. There are 6 men, and 6 women. Now the only thing I am going to tell you about these people, are their names.

Now I know you can't completely form an opinion about someone when the only thing you know about them is their name, BUT tell me what kind of people you think they MIGHT be, judging by their names.......

Okay, the 6 women are named:

1) Sabrina

2) Chelsea

3) Hannah

4) Alex

5) Morgan

6) Shawn

The 6 men are named:

1) Jonathan

2) Adam

3) Carson

4) Jake

5) Kyle

6) AJ

Now please cut & paste and beside each name, give me a few words that you think may describe these people.

Who is attractive? Who is rich? Who is a "bad boy" or "wild girl"? Who is smart? Who is conservative, who has dark hair or etc .......

Thank You for participating.

Update:

later, after all the opinions come in, I will tell you the truth about these 12 , and what kind of people they really are.

    4) Alex - Tomboy (People who call themselves Alex kinda tend to be tomboys)

    5) Morgan - She-male.

    6) Shawn - She-male.

    The 6 men are named:

    2) Adam - rich - Reminds me of victoria beckham nee adams.

    3) Carson - sexy and hot athletic jock (Carlson Twins xD)

    6) AJ - smart techno geek. *Fairly Odd parents - AJ is a geek.

    Source(s): And in the end, we can only prove that 'Alex' is a stereotype for tomboys and girls who are tough and love sports And everything is associated with Disney stars and TV>
