Sidhu et al. (2019) includes a test of whether people really do have personalities that match their names (Experiment 3). The researchers tested a sample of more than 1,000 people to examine whether those with sonorous names have more agreeable traits and whether those with voiceless stop names are more extraverted. They found no meaningful relationships. In a statistics class, you could discuss why the researchers used a relatively large sample in this study (compared with the perception studies): They wanted to be able to detect even a very small relationship between name and personality.
