Can your name have a big impact in your life? I feel like some names just aren't supposed to make it.

Yeah, people usually structure their personalities around their names I feel. I’ve met so many dumb people with shitty names. Or maybe that’s the genetic factor in play where only low IQ people give stupid names to their kids passing on their dumb genes

Sadly yes.
There was a study sometime ago where a woman named Youneeq ("unique") could never get a job interview. So she changed her name on some applications to something really generic like "Heather" and got a bunch of callbacks. Also found that salary offers for the same job in the same company for the same application were higher. Sucks because it's not like you choose your name and it's literally just a sound that distinguishes you from others, it doesn't mean anything about you personally.

This just sounds like racism - preference for a white sounding name over a black one.

I feel as if Gunther is a good ole boy and has a lot of guns, and he comes from a lineage of strong germans men and he'd go on to tell you it was originally Van Braun. Also I feel as if Bruce is a homosexual billionaire and likely has a rap album under the alias Faggot Bruce.

They've done surveys where "unique" names (depending on the country) makes it harder to get elected/votes. I don't know how much it effects your actual job though.

I was born and raised in the United States. My name is totally Russian (First, Middle, and Last). My last name isn't an easy Russian one like some (Ivanov, Morozov, etc.). It ends I'm ov, but most people have trouble pronouncing it. Most people will just call me by my first name at work. Even when management is naming off people's full names in a meeting (Like John Smith, Kayla White, Ben Miller, etc.) they'll just say my first name.

It doesn't bother me at all. It's not their fault, and it's not like they do it on purpose to be disrespectful.
