I don't think a name determines someone's character but it can affect the way you're perceived by others.

I don't think it determines character, but from what I've seen, it can be indicative of how the parents operate and they have a major part of determining character (at least in the places where the child's personality doesn't override.)

I've known three cheerful Annies, four dour Anns, seven jerk Steves, a boatload of sexy Mike's and two shysters named Ross (though I am considering Ross and have a place in my heart for shysters!)

Just saying :)
