It would affect my initial thoughts about the person, my first impression. But as I have found, once you get to know the person, you usually get past the name. Though I still do connect certain names, esp. the more unusual ones, with the people I know, so if that person's nice then I have a more favorable view of the name, for example. I was hoping Thumper and her sibs went by nn's but it appears not. :( Though if she turned out to be a wonderfully sweet, smart, friendly person, I don't think I'd be less likely to go to her if she were, say, a doctor just because her name was Thumper. (I would, however, have a giggle over it when I told others her fn. :b)
