Do you secretly feel like a hidden genius?<\/a> Your first name might hold the answer, according to a study by EduBirdie<\/em>.

For the guys, John or its French counterpart, Jean, took the top spot. Notables like Jean-Paul Sartre and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, both philosophical heavyweights, come to mind.
