The Attractiveness of Names
After a brief account of the importance, and neglect, of the psychological study of names, the role of familiarity in liking for names is investigated.

A preference-feedback hypothesis that enables us to resolve some apparently contradictory results from the experiments, an…
The effect of familiarity on preferences for surnames
A sample of 40 male and 40 female subjects rated either their familiarity with or their liking for 60 one-syllable and two-syllable surnames selected randomly from a local telephone directory.

Evidence from investigations carried out in England and Australia sugg…
