The Secret Universe Of Names: The Dynamic Interplay Of Names And Destiny

Rating:
Summary: Worth reviewing
Review: As someone who loves language, this book hooked me. The idea that sounds influences our emotions was really well explored by the author in an interesting and accessible way. The analysis of all my family's names was almost always spot on, and even when not was good grist for conversation. I highly recommend this book. Five stockings to fill. Five books.

Summary: Very intriguing!
Review: The first thing you'll do upon picking up this book is turn to your name -- in my case, "MTH" names (for Matthew). I read through my description and it was seriously dead on. Intrigued, I looked up my sister Katherine ("KTH" names), and it was again virtually 100% accurate. So I looked up my ex-girlfriend's name, and I was floored as I read an amazing page-long description -- as though the authors had followed her around and wrote about her temperament and beliefs.

I highly recommend you check it out... Don't know if there's any science to it, but it is definitely interesting. You will get a kick out of it!
