A new analysis from app maker Verdant Labs found the six most unique names in 37 different professions. These are the names that are more common in that line of work than in others.
應(yīng)用軟件制造商Verdant Labs最近的一項(xiàng)分析發(fā)現(xiàn)，37種不同職業(yè)各有六個獨(dú)特的名字，這六個名字在某一職業(yè)中出現(xiàn)的頻率要遠(yuǎn)高于其他的名字。
Here's Verdant Labs' chart showing the six most disproportionately common names in each profession:
下面是Verdant Labs的圖表，展示了各個職業(yè)中出現(xiàn)頻率最高的六個名字。
In a blog post, developer Mark Edmond explained more about the methodology:
在一篇博文中，軟件開發(fā)者馬克·愛蒙德對這個原則進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)解釋：
Take Elvis, for example. There aren't all that many Elvises out there, but a particularly high percentage of them are musicians. As a result, Elvis ranks high among musician names. Elvis isn't the most common name among musicians -- that's likely to be John or some other very popular name. What's interesting is that it's way more common among musicians than you might expect, given how rare it is. In other words, it's common in that profession relative to its overall frequency.
以Elvis為例。叫Elvis的人并不多，但是他們當(dāng)中音樂家特別多。因此，Elvis在音樂家名字中排名靠前。Elvis并非最常見的音樂家名字，可能最常見的還是John等其他流行的名字。有趣的是，考慮到Elvis這個名字本來就不常見，它在音樂家中的常見程度也就可以算是很高了。換句話說，這個名字出現(xiàn)在音樂家中的幾率要高于它出現(xiàn)的整體幾率。
Some of the findings won't be too surprising: Police officers, race car drivers, golfers and guitarists are more likely to be men. Social workers, librarians and graphic designers tend to be women.
有些發(fā)現(xiàn)在情理之中：警官、賽車手、高爾夫球手和吉他手中男性更多。社工、圖書管理員、平面設(shè)計(jì)師里女性更多。
Some other interesting tidbits: Football coaches are likely to have one-syllable names such as Rich, Mike or Bill. Songwriters' names harken back to some famous male musicians of the 1960s and 1970s, including Sonny, Mick and Billy. Hebrew names such as Moshe, Meir, and Shlomo are extremely common among rabbis.
這里還有一些有趣的細(xì)節(jié)：足球教練經(jīng)常是起一個音節(jié)的名字，比如Rich、Mike或Bill。流行歌曲作者的名字常常是二十世紀(jì)六七十年代的著名男音樂家的名字，比如Sonny、Mick和Billy。希伯來語的名字，比如Moshe、Meir或Shlomo在拉比（猶太教經(jīng)師或神職人員）中極為常見。
“So, do our names influence where we go in life? Or do the social, geographic, economic and other factors that might have influenced how our parents named us also direct our career paths?” Edmond wrote in the post. “Our hunch is that it’s mostly the latter, but bear in mind that the connection is subtle.”
愛蒙德在博文中寫道，“所以，我們的名字會不會影響今后的人生方向呢？或者說影響父母為我們起名字的社會、地理、經(jīng)濟(jì)等其他因素還會繼續(xù)影響我們的職業(yè)道路？直覺告訴我們主要是后者，但是請記住，二者的聯(lián)系是非常微妙的。”
