I recent was given an article about the Pygmalion Effect (or Self-fulfilling Effect). The article pointed out to people often live up to (or down to) the labels we put on them.
It really made me think. First I wish my family and friends would have nicknamed me slim when I was young. It also caused me to think if I was building people up or bring them down by how I talked to them.
I can't attach the article but I suggest giving the topic "the google" to learn more. One summary I found was at http://humanresources.about.com/od/managementtips/a/mgmtsecret.htm.
