Nominative misdeterminism

Nominative misdeterminism: noun. The theory that to avoid the significance of one's name a person chooses a profession which is as far away from the role of his name as possible. Examples of this include a Mr. Baker working in McDonalds' or a Mr. Tailor working as a life guard. The theory has been proposed and supported through studies by researchers at the University of Montana, namely Dr. Hunt, Prof. Spear and Mr. Slaughter.
