Whatʼs in a name?

A name can act in a very similar way to a genre. Filling the audience with preconceived ideas that then fill the character with the audiences own individual characteristics that they've created. This can be seen in many films, books and games. For example 'the wanderer" from the fallout series. Just by using the name the wanderer the audience are instantly filled with the image of a loner, a hard man, who knows everything, quietly confident these are all characteristics that are instantly placed in that character subconsciously.
