name associations
I'm wondering about the associations that people have with first names. If you heard about someone you didn't know who had one of the names listed below, what would you imagine them to be like, based on their name alone? Can you describe them. I would greatly appreciate any responses for the following names:Jamie
Michael
Kyrie
Jennifer
IsraelThank you very much!

Jamie shops at Victoria's Secret in the Mall, buying expensive lingerie and telling the salesgirl that it's a present for his girlfriend. On weekends, Jamie indulges in his sexual fantasies by dressing up in the lingerie and putting on imaginery "fashion shows" in the privacy of his mother's basement.Michael is a nice fellow who is always polite to annoying telephone solicitors.Kyrie attends self-help Recovery meetings and drives a small car with a string of "healing crystals" dangling from the rear-view mirror.Jennifer keeps regular appointments with her manicurist, who paints tiny floral designs on Jennifer's fingernails.Israel owns a used-book store that doesn't turn a profit, yet nevertheless gives him a feeling of deep personal satisfaction and achievement.-- Nanaea

Why do I get the feeling you KNOW these people? At least you (properly) made Jamie a guy, altho a bit of a poofster...Also, Michael's mother was a bit anal-retentive, insisting on "Michael" instead of something like Mike or Mick -- and he's too polite to change it now.
