Simple Names

If you want to succeed in your career you may want to change your last

name to Smith. Researchers analyzed names of lawyers at American law

firms and found that lawyers with easy-to-pronounce names became

partners more quickly than people with complex names. Having a simple

name may help others feel familiar and comfortable with you, building

trust more quickly. It also is likely that when a name is hard to

pronounce, people say it less ¬often, leading to fewer recommendations

and introductions that could pave the way to ¬advancement.
