What's In A Name

Greetings Gifted Reader,
fate

Have you ever considered how the meaning of your name impacts your life? Like Astrology and Numerology, the names we’re given at birth affects us in interesting ways.

For instance, I have a friend whose name is also that of an important East Asian civilization over 2,000 years old. Further, that civilization was extremely artistic and spiritual. Is it a coincidence that my friend is both, as well?

lily


My friend’s mother’s name translates to lily flower. And just like the lily, she is beautiful, delicate and feminine, yet powerful. Ancient Greeks believed that lilies also had masculine traits, and my friend’s mother does, too. She often ran the household while her husband was gone for long periods of time early in his career.



Every year, hundreds of thousands of babies are given names that they will end up striving to live up to, consciously or not. Some will even change their names to better manifest the fate they feel should be theirs--like those that are hip to Numerology and change the spelling of their names to influence better outcomes. 

For instance, Jane Smith in the chart below adds up to 9, a Mars-ruled individual who might be temperamental and prone to conflict. Adding the “Y” changes her name to 7, ruled by Neptune; a magnetic, musical and mysterious personality.

1     2     3     4     5     6     7     8     9
A    B    C     D    E    F     G    H    I
J     K    L     M    N   O     P    Q    R
S    T     U    V    W   X     Y    Z

Mike
Variations of names seem to change a person’s personality, too. Like when someone named Michael calls himself Mike. Does that make him less formal and more easygoing? 

What about Roberts who call themselves Bobby? They can be crazy fun!

Nicknames are significant game changers, too. Remember Whitney Houston’s nickname was Nippy, as in nip it in the bud? Her life was certainly shortened by unfortunate circumstances.
