Our name is the most important thing in the world for us. We want to hear only goody goody things about our name. Our name should get only fair and favorable words of praise. Well, this is what we ardently desire.

There is curiosity, excitement and much more in our heart about our name. We may not stand tall, but it sure does.

Nothing more personal than a name can we sport. Nothing more lighter do we travel with but its meaning and reputation lends it credence and weight.

Some of us dream of our name while others chant theirs. Some have it engraved on their hearts while others on their wrists. No matter what, it is with us and in our own way, we consider ourselves king and queen. (Kaori the Queen, Craaig the King).

To others our name may be insignificant, for us it is the most sacred and utmost dear word. We wouldn't want to give up on it for the love of our dear life. If someone tries to malign our name or says something bad, we'd want to butcher him/her. (Very true and in our hearts.)

So, WHAT DO OUR INDIVIDUAL NAMES MEAN and tell us about us. Read it and find out.
1. If you provide me with your first (birth) name, you can get its meaning.
2. If you provide your full name, you can get a detailed insight.
3. With your date of birth, you can get an amazing birth calculator.

Read the examples of BUBBLY/SOPHIA/BARACK OBAMA to give you an idea about what's in store for you.

The aim is to get acclaim
Fair or foul – no one’s to blame
Many went and many came
Few conquered Lucky Dame

Lot were left only to exclaim:
“We want power, fortune and fame.”
But this is really no chance or game
It tells about filly, horses or hame

Strong feelings too it can inflame
Be it Jane, Jenny or Jame(s)
Its truth is known even to Mr Kame
All are charmed – be they healthy or lame

It can make and even maim
For this is the power of the NAME
Its negative effects, many overcame
It’s their fate, they proclaim

Its powers grow in sets of quiname
Rare few wish for a rename
While some improve, others remain same
Destiny – no one can conquer or tame

So, tell me, your first and username
It classifies all – be they bishops or vidame
It can affect both the back and the wame
With it, you pass, life’s all exam(e)

It can throw apart or bring ysame
“Flying Shark” was renamed “Hishou Zame”



The NAME of the GAME is SAME -- FAME!

What’s In A NAME – EVERYTHING!

 

Your parents named you at the time of your birth. During your lifetime, did you ever give it a thought to have a name of your own choice, different from your birth name? No, never. You don’t wish to rename yourself as the birth name becomes your sole identity, the most precious thing in the world.

 

The birth name remains our till the end of our life. We are possessive about it. If our name is ‘Sophia” and we read an article about Sophia (Loren), the first reaction is “It’s about me – Sophia.” It fills us with pride when someone calls our name. So much so, we engrave our names on wooden benches, trees or what have you. Because it is MY name. It matters to me.

 

Take for instance if SOPHIA was given equivalent name numbers 167891, will we call her, “Hello, 167891, how are you?” No. Never! We will prefer to call Sophia by her proper name rather than numbers. This is the ease and popularity of names.

 

ONOMASTICS or ONOMATOLOGY is the study of proper names of all kinds and the origins of names. ANTHROPONOMASTICS is the study of personal names. The ETYMOLOGY of names is the study of the origin and literal meaning of names.

 

A name is usually a label that is used to distinguish one person from another. But never have numbers been used to name a person like “she is 1” or “he is 59”. Most are given religious names. Many are named after their region and others by their countries.

 

Apart from given names, we have surnames or family names which are added to our given names. Then there are unisex manes or nicknames like Alex (for Alexander/Alexandra) or Chris (for Christopher/Christina). Kris is most likely to be used by either gender.

 

Names have a great influence on the child. So, it will be of great significance if you gave it a thought as to what name your child should have. For instance: Clement means Merciful; George (means farmer); Thomas (twin); Peter (rock); Edgar (rich spear); Calvin (bald). Think about it.

 

At times people change their names mainly because of their profession (actors); of conversion to another religion; and many women change their names after marriage.

 

There are first names and the last but it is popular to have a middle name too. Many writers have a pseudonym. Most of us on Booksie have one.

 

The most popular name in the world is MOHAMMED as per the number of babies named at birth.

Very few names have no meanings and do not imply anything. Some names have negative connotations too. Two different names can have similar meanings and characteristics.

 

Each given name has an unique meaning and it also tells about you, i.e. the general characteristics. For instance:

 

1. BUBBLY - These are the kind of people, who are stoic in nature. You can never judge them by their face or expression. In fact they are a complete baggage of introvert kind. Never share his or her feelings with anyone. But don't loose hope; they love mystery and the hype of the season. They love the world's best things and though they'll never convey but the secret is that they love being pampered, showered with gifts and enjoy being the center of attraction. Moreover guess what? They are sensual in nature. (Ha! Haa!! Haaa!!!)

 

1. SOPHIA - You set your priorities straight and never mix business with pleasure. To you your own happiness takes a second turn and work takes the lead. You are very vigilant and shrewd. Though you are sensual but you are cautious in sharing your feelings. People can rely on you as when you make a commitment you stick to them. You are a romantic at heart. You are quite confident and optimistic about future plans. But you are a restless kind and find it next to impossible to relax.

 

2. BARACK OBAMA – There are 11 letters in your name. Those 11 letters total to 32
There are 5 vowels and 6 consonants in your name.

 

Your number is: 5

The characteristics of #5 are: Expansiveness, visionary, adventure, the constructive use of freedom.

The expression or destiny for #5: The number 5 Expression endows with the wonderful characteristic of multi-talents and versatility. You can do so many things well. The tone of the number 5 is constructive freedom, and in your drive to attain this freedom, you will likely be the master of adaptability and change. You are good at presenting ideas and knowing how to approach people to get what you want. Naturally, this gives you an edge in any sort of selling game and spells easy success when it comes to working with people in most jobs. Your popularity may lead you toward some form of entertainment or amusement. Whatever you do, you are clever, analytical, and a very quick thinker.

If there is too much of the 5 energy in your makeup, you may express some the negative attitudes of the number. Your restless and impatient attitude may keep you from staying with any project for too long. Sometimes you can be rather erratic and scatter yourself and your energies. You have a hard time keeping regular office hours and maintaining any sort of a routine. You tend to react strongly if you sense that your freedom of speech or action is being impaired or restricted in any way. As clever as you are, you may have a tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again because much of your response is glib reaction rather that thoughtful application. You are in a continuous state of flux brought by constantly changing interests.

 

Your Soul Urge number is: 1

A Soul Urge number of 1 means: Your Soul Urge is the number 1. With a Soul Urge number of 1, you want to lead and direct, to work independent of supervision, by yourself or with subordinates. You take pride in your abilities and want to be recognized for them. You may seek opportunities to display your strength and usefulness, wanting to create and originate. In your desire to manage the big picture and the main issues, you may often leave the details to others.

The positive 1 Soul Urge is Ambitious and determined, a leader seeking opportunities. There is a great deal of honesty and loyalty in this character. If you possess positive 1 Soul Urge qualities, you are very attainment oriented and driven to success. You are a loyal friend and strictly fair in your business dealings.

The negative side of the 1 Soul Urge must be avoided. A negative 1 is apt to dominate situations and people; the home, the spouse, the family and the business. Emotions aren't strong in this nature. If you possess an excess of 1energy, you may, at times, be boastful and egotistic. You must avoid being too critical and impatient of trifles. The great need of the 1 Soul Urge is the development of friendliness, and a sincere interest in people.

 

Your Inner Dream number is: 22

An Inner Dream number of 22 means: You dream of being a master organizer and a builder of monumental projects; of guiding a truly huge endeavour. Your secret fantasy is to think big and imagine what could be done for the world. You may also dream of the huge rewards.
