The Secret Meaning of Names

Rating:
Summary: Contains 9000 names with individual personality traits
Review: "A name is a reservoir of energy and this makes good sense: The constant repetition of these same syllables, of this same "harmony" ends up having a significant influence on an individual. Names contain secret vibrations we are unaware of, yet which exist nonetheless-just as we cannot hear the sound from an ultrasonic whistle that a dog hears perfectly well. If we admit the existence of these vibrations, which are different for each name, it is not too hard to imagine that they can resonate with something inside us, and trigger different reactions in us, according to the name we bear. This is to say a name can change an individual and can affect one's personality and, to a certain extent, destiny. This helps us understand what at first seems unbelievable-that names can have a direct influence on people." (Pierre Le Rouzic-author)

Summary: Silly Book
Review: I am only 17 but I love names. Out of my collection of 20 baby name books, this is my absolute favorite. I thought this book was truly unbelievable. It is amazingly accurate in describing the character of a person by his or her name. Even a skeptic will be shocked by the descriptions. My family members have read about their names and have been in complete awe. If not for your baby, buy it for yourself! It's so right...it's a little creepy!

Summary: Amazing
Review: I have had this book for a many years. It is an incredible book, the personalities match up very well and it helps you find first names and middle names that don't clash with eachother. The more common names have several different personality types to choose which describes you or someone else best, such a Lisa had two different types, number 7 and number 34, number 7 is 100% me, The Seeker of Experience. It has so many names and they match up really well to so many people. Naming is an important thing and it does effect who you are, and this helps you know yourself a little better. Pair this up with The Ony Astrology Book You Will Ever Need and you will know yourself inside and out! But as a stand alone book it is incredible, use it to know people better, and use it to have a little bit of an idea of who your children will be. Have fun!

Summary: amazing and astonishing!
Review: I recently discovered "the secret meaning of names" and am, to say the least, absolutely amazed! So far I have read the descriptions of the personality traits, social traits, health, pshychology, intelligence, and emotional nature of 13 of my family and friends. And, much to my amazement, every one accurately depicts each of these people. What an amazing book, either for research or entertainment, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the study of names or people.

Summary: Silly Book
Review: I thought this was a silly book and not very useful. It does list a large number of names, however it groups names together in personality types- very different kinds of names & up to 30 for 1 type! Also, the research they did was laughable- they named cats and observed their behavior. It sounds like they may have only used two cats as well. If you just want to be entertained it could be all right, I'm sure some personalities happen to be accurate.

Summary: Utterly Amazing
Review: The premise of this book is depicted above so I won't get into that, instead, I'll tell you more about what I like about this book:
I was given this book by my mom around 20 years ago when she went to an American Air Base bookstore in Manila. We'd spend nights after dinner reading through our names (I have 7 siblings). What was so amazing was that even though I come from an asian ethnicity/background, this book profoundly describes each and every one of us (even my parents) to the dot!!! I cherished this book a lot and it gave me hours of entertainment --- I'd even take it to school and my grade school best friend and I would check out teachers, classmates, etc... It amazes me how Mr. La Rouzic was able to connect all those names to those traits related to personality types and be pretty accurate about it to this day. I hope they publish more of these --- maybe then we'd get a better understanding on how to mix and match names so there won't be a "clash" of personality types (might be the source of the so-called 'split-personality' theory) and there'd be a lot less oddly-named people in this world. To date, nothing i've read on name books come close to this. I highly recommend this.Good luck finding it!

Summary: Fascinating and accurate
Review: This book has a ton of girl's and boy's names. The author associates your birth name with a distinct personality, animal totem and color. He describes how picking the wrong name can do harm to a child. We all heard some pretty strange names given to some kids. This book will help you find a interesting and good name for your child. It is a neat book. Not a New Age book.
