The Hidden Truth of Your Name : A Complete Guide to First Names and What They Say About the Real You

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating! Great for parties and get-togethers
Review: This is one of the best books to have around to stimulate conversation - everybody wants to know what their name means! The historical origins are especially interesting, and having three interpretations (Kaballah, Runes and Numerology) is just as fascinating, since they offer DIFFERENT insights. The interpretations often complement and confirm each other, but other aspects that might not be obvious in one form show up in another, giving a very well-rounded view of each name. Not satisfied with just that? Here's a fun tip: Look up your MIDDLE name too - the two combined give an even more accurate picture! This would have been much better if the book also included a basic guide for determining the signifigance of names that weren't included, since there are so many others out there. Still, you'll find yourself looking up friends, relatives, even old boy/girl-friends and chums from school to see if what you remember about them matches! A great book!
