Know The Name; Know The Person

Suppose your last name is Winter, since many winters are cold, would you have a standoffish personality? The answer is absolutely no, as the last name represents your environment and not the core of who you are. People with the last name of Winter may find that other people are slow to warm up to them though. The positive side of having Winter for a last name is that you will be surrounded by people who learn from experience and who are willing to share those experiences with you.

Dwights learn through experience, they don’t like to make the same mistake twice. Making it once does not bother them. Thus they can appear bright yet aren’t necessarily any brighter than anyone else. Dwight is family oriented with most of his time being occupied by family. Dwight’s challenge is to work toward his goals even when he realizes that he may only end up being mediocre at the task. Dwight’s get smarter, or brighter if you will, as they age since they learn from experience.

Joe is smart and a leader and one who has to be his own leader, as he won’t find a guru that has his answers for him. He has to be careful not to diminish himself in order to fit in with the crowd, as that will lead him off of his life path and possibly into experimenting with addictive behaviors via the use of alternative substances or sex. Joe is generous with his time and would probably be a prankster of sorts and have a great sense of intelligent humor. He’d be fun and a bit full of himself. Remember, the last name influences all of the characteristics found in the first name and can make them either easier or harder to see.

Just for the fun of it, let’s compare names. Suppose a Bryan wanted to see how a Hannah Birgitta would fit with him? The name Hannah is like a math palindrome as it is the read the same forward as it is backwards. People who have palindrome names can see ideas from all points of view and are occasionally challenged when needing to decide which is their point of view, as they understand so many different points. Under stress Hannah exhibits more of Birgitta’s characteristics. Bryan and Hannah Birgitta share many common letters. They don’t have letters that conflict with each other. However, they do have letters that demand that they either do their best or don’t play, and that can cause conflict until both learn how to communicate in a non-competitive way. Bryan wants to make the world a better place while Hannah wants everyone to feel good. These are different aspects of the same direction. The real challenge for these two people comes from having almost too much in common. Thus, when its good, its really, really good, but when its bad, its, well, let’s not go there.

Sherry is a fortified wine made from white grapes that are grown near the town of Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Per Wikipedia, most Sherry’s are initially dry with the sweetness added later.

Cynthia is an interesting name as there are so many nicknames that can be spelled so many different ways from the name Cynthia. Remember, the birth name is the core of the person with the first name representing their essence and the last representing their environment. We can change our names to say this is what we are showing to the world, however, it does not change who we are inside. Cynthia’s learn via conflict and need to be right and in control of themselves and in charge of others. They can be charming and charismatic, and highly likable, besides being quite independent.

There are names that sound like honey and names that screech at us. Some highly pleasant sounding names are Deirdre, Hope, and Melody. Toxic sounding names are those with too many harsh sounds in them. Do pleasant sounding names correlate to pleasant personalities? Let’s dissect these three names so that you can decide.
• Dierdre sounds literally dear, and the lead D in her name would make her highly connected with spirit. She is family oriented and gives most of her time to family. She’s an expert in her own field, generous with her time and loves physicality. She is expressive and outgoing, with a strong rebellious streak when she hears the word no.
• Hope is also connected with spirit and loves to join the flow of positivity. She is a natural nurturer and caregiver. She does expect loyalty in return. Hope can be a pied piper and people willing follow her anywhere. She is generous with her time and able to juggle many responsibilities simultaneously. She always makes sure her friends are okay.
• Melody is a fabulous listener as she hears what is said and what is not said. She has a way of understanding the root cause of difficulties and can pinpoint the underlying feelings. She is able to take care of herself and in turn has plenty left over to care for all the other people around her. She is a chameleon as she is able to get along with anyone she chooses. She can be nurturing, yet is highly selective where she spends her energy. She too is connected to spirit.

Just as all Johns are not alike, all Daniels are not alike. The first name is like the ingredients that we have on hand to use and the last name is the recipe that we use to decide how much of what is going into the mix. For ingredients, all Daniels have a strong ego or sense of self and all can flip between being a workaholic and a couch potato. They want to make the world a better place and will have some sort of divine connection. The last name will determine how strong the divine connection is and how it shows up as well as whether the Daniel is arrogant about his self-confidence or not. For example, the last name of Wiseman would indicate that Daniel may have had arrogant moments but would definitely grow out of it with age, while other last names would indicate that Daniel would become a pain in the side. Last names are important indeed as with the name Daniel the last name would also indicate whether a particular Daniel is motivated by doing good or too lazy to do much good.

Paula is a wonderfully balanced name understanding the need to both play and work hard. Paulas can be Pied Pipers, leading people into doing more good or causing more harm. They are naturally persuasive, hard working, confident and likable. They can also use others as they are easy to believe even when wrong. Paulas need to have fun at whatever they are doing; hence if work isn’t fun, they don’t want to do it and can start complaining, encouraging others also to complain. However, if they enjoy work, they will lift everyone else’s spirits and people won’t be able to wait to get to work daily. Paulas, those who are positive are like angels on earth, while those that are negative cause trouble behind the scenes until they create a small earthquake of damage behind them. All names have gifts and challenges, yet within this name, the difference between choosing the gifts over the challenges or vice versa makes a huge difference.

The names Veronica and Betty were famous in the Archie cartoon series. The Archie Comics introduced many lovable characters. In real life Veronica would be the sexy one just as in the comics. Veronica would be likable, but not change who she is to get liked. She would have charisma and natural sex appeal. Veronica would also be logical, use deductive reasoning and also highly practical. Veronica would never give up control to someone else as she wants to be the one in charge of herself.

Betty’s name indicates that she would be competitive, and want to be the best at what she did. If she couldn’t be the best than she wouldn’t want to participate. Betty would have good hand-eye coordination and would feel the best when physically fit. Betty would fit into any group that she wants as she was a chameleon and could sense what others expected of her. Betty would be outstanding in whatever area her interest took her as her nature is to strive to be the very best. Betty can be emotional, is basically a people person and gets attached to others. She is the detective and always wishes to know what makes another person tick. Betty may, at times, be slow to start, but once she is in gear she epitomizes the Energetic Bunny.

Both names are true to their characters in the Archie series.
