No, what I said was there is no known correlation between names (specific names) and success or personality, meaning that there's no reason to believe people named Patrick will be a certain type of person. Then I went on to say that you can't see a strong specific trend from just one minor factor such as a name because it is that factor combined with many other factors that make a person who they are.
Note that most the people ridiculed who work harder to prove their tormentors wrong aren't doing so because of their names (so I would imagine). I would venture to guess there are a lot more people who are made fun of for being imperfect in other ways, especially being shy or having few social skills, than people who are made fun of because their name. I didn't say a name can't have an effect on how successful you are, especially in an indirect way. I said there's no correlation between names and success, and the book by Dr. Levitt (which is what I was specifically responding to) talks especially about trends between one name and all the people with that name. A large-scale correlation does not appear, even if a person's name does have an effect on who they are, which it often does, which means that there is no correlation between names and success, or names and personality, as far as current studies can show.
Or, more specifically, and probably more understandably, a specific name does not correlate with a specific success rate or personality according to any legitimate current study, showing now correlation between any name and the success of the person with it, or between that name and a personality type.
