Phrase to mean one is described by his name [duplicate]

I found in some other languages such as Chinese an interesting idiom which describes some people; for example, when you see a person is named "Smart" and he/she is really smart, one would say: "a name fits his person" as a literal translation.

I would like to see if there is some specific phrase, idiom or proverb to describe such a situation.

Solution 1:

Consider the phrase aptly named:

A dog called Snoozy who lies around on the couch all day is aptly named...

(http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/aptly)

aptly named/described/called etc: named, described etc in a way that seems very suitable

The aptly named Skyline Restaurant provides spectacular views of the city below.

(Longman)

We ​spent a ​week at the aptly ​named Grand View Hotel.

(Cambridge Dictionary)

Solution 2:

Consider,

They didn't call you [Smart] for nothing!

Such a name can be called a euonym:
