Nominative determinism

Nominative determinism is the idea that a person's name plays a role in determining their future profession or other attributes. Mental Floss has a bunch of examples. I like golfer Tiger Woods and sprinter Usain Bolt.
News of the Weird routinely does a segment called "Names in the News" that includes many similar examples, like Kevin Lee Cokayne who was arrested for dealing marijuana. #sociology
