Using data from the National Opinion Research Centers (NORC’s) General Social Survey we find evidence that, even after controlling for a myriad of exogenous background factors, first name features are predictors of many lifetime economic outcomes that are related to labor productivity such as education, happiness and early fertility. However, we also find evidence, based on the differential impacts of gender and race on the ‘blackness ’ of a name that identity could be an important channel for linking first name to lifetime economic outcomes
