Good Names, Bad Names

BOOK2Unit6 III. Dictation

The passage will be spoken three times. This writer describes ways names can make a difference. When one woman used her middle name, she felt better and her professional achievement improved. A magazine refused to print the writer’s name because it suited a baseball player more than anart expert.

At a party, another woman was uncomfortable: the man she wanted the writer to introduce her to was the same one she had refused to blind date because of his name. The writer thinks we often assign name prejudices to people. One of his friends described her working with some four-year-olds and exchanging two boys’ personalitiesbecause of their names.

One classroom study showed teachers gave lower grades to essays written by boys with certain names than to the very same essays with only the names changed. Similarly, girls’ popularity can relate to their names. So the writer suggests if your name doesn’t suit you, you can change yourname.
