According to their studies, the older we get, the more we will match our name. Wild, but interesting theory.

Btw this is a clear example where in statistics, temporal order does not imply causality.

We clearly are given our names waaay before our adult faces develop; and yet, it's more likely that our genetic traits (and therefore adult faces) determine the name, rather than the other way around.
