Researchers from University College London and New School for Social
Research in New York have studied how people respond to words based
on having letters on the right or left hand side of the qwerty keyboard.
Volunteers rated their feelings on English, Dutch, and Spanish words.
They found no matter what the language or if the volunteer was right
or left handed, people had more positive feelings about words that
mainly involved the right side of the keyboard, even with made up words.

Researchers thought this may be due to the left hand having to work
harder on the qwerty keyboard because it’s responsible for 15 letters
while the right only has 11. They stated this research is helpful for
people responsible for naming new products, brands and companies to
choose the ‘right’ name.

This doesn’t seem like a very important topic for scientists to spend their
time investigating, but merchandising is a multimillion dollar business.
Taking advantage of every tool for your product is a smart idea. My name has
only 2 letters out of 8 on the left side so people should respond positively
to my name.
