Study Shows Names Influence Facial Appearance Over Time

Research reveals adults' faces evolve to match social expectations linked to their names, unlike children.

Adults' faces can be accurately matched to their names, but children's faces cannot.
Machine learning confirms that adults with the same name have similar facial features.
The effect, known as a self-fulfilling prophecy, highlights the impact of social constructs.
The study involved participants from different age groups and used both human and AI analysis.
Researchers suggest names are just one of many social factors influencing physical appearance.
