nominative adj.记名的；

hold weight:站得住脚

The term Nominative determinism refers to the idea that some people are attracted to certain jobs that match up with their names. Can this phenomenon² really hold weight? It sounds incredibly narcissistic³ to be attracted to things that remind us of ourselves, but the research suggests that your name really does have a great influence on your life choices.
“名字决定论”指的是，有人会被与自己名字相匹配的某些工作所吸引。这种现象真的站得住脚吗？被那些让我们想起自己的事物所吸引，这听起来真是令人感到难以置信地自恋，但是研究表明，你的名字确实对你的生活选择有很大的影响。
