What's In A Name?

Names have power.
And when it comes to first exposure of a name,
the person who had it first.... can set a mental image in mind that's hard to shake.
If a person is named 'this' then certainly they will all act like the first person you met with 'this' name would act.

You see, I had a dream last night.
About a guy who was chasing me around with a fork lift.
And his name happened to be Brady.

Now, I've known a few Brady's in my life.
But for some reason it's always struck me as a 'bully' name.
Why?
Because in Elementary school, there was a blonde haired guy in my class named Brady.
He was one of those kids who was bigger than all the others.  
Not that he was mean or anything, he just had that type of attitude.
The 'I'm better than you so move out of my way.' sort of attitude.

What I remember most about him was that he was climbing up a metal ladder on the playground (because we had metal big toys back then.) And I was right behind him, when he stepped on my hand.
Total accident really, though I didn't think so at the time.
I guess it kinda cemented in my mind then, that he was a bully, someone to be avoided.
Mostly because I'm the sort of person where I was like "He hurt me, so I don't want to be near him and get hurt again."

But yah, from that point forward, the name Brady...can conjure up that image. Not quite the Elementary kid, as I've known other Brady's after that point, easy going fellows, still popular with the girls, nice....

In any case. It's made me think this morning.
If Brady makes me think of a kid who has the potential to be a bully.
What other people in my life have influenced how I view a name and the personality behind it?
