What Does Your Name Say About You?
It's not a question we ask often enough.
We ask: what does our name mean? And then we get interested when it means something like "strength" or "beauty" or "hope" but what does your name say about you is a different question. It's kind of like when someone asks you for your horoscope to determine what kind of personality you have or "what's in the stars" for you this month.
What your name says about you could be just as important in understanding your personality as your horoscope (if you believe in all that) because, as much as we deny it, names carry meaning and associations.
Aren't we captivated by the name Aurora?
Or put off by the name Adolf?
It happens!
We make judgments about people based on names. There's even a list of the most villainous names!
As an example, I'll use my own name: Philip
- The name of Philip gives you a very idealistic nature.
- Your desire for peace and harmony causes you to withdraw from situations where there is friction and acrimony.
- You are quite reserved and inclined to feel sensitive and self-conscious, even though you strive to appear poised and confident.
- Being rather secretive in many ways, and not liking people to pry into your affairs restrict opportunities for friendship; not until you feel you can trust others do you open up to them.
- The desire to help others and the generous side of your nature attract those who take advantage of you.
- While you lack verbal expression and spontaneity under this name, you have a natural literary ability and writing comes easily to you.
- You also have a deep appreciation of nature and all the finer things in life.
Is all this true...some of it is. Like everything in life, it's not really an exact science.
So the question remains: What does your name say about you?
