Nominative determinism

The idea that people might inadvertently be drawn to careers related to their names. Sort of the opposite of someone with a surname of Baker because the family was once bakers, and instead suggesting that, if you are called Baker, you might unknowingly gravitate towards a career in baked goods.

Apparently coined in the New Scientist by reader C. R. Cavonius after people kept submitting examples, including those in the sketch. More examples here.
