I had debated getting this book for so long, but I had a little extra cash in my pocket and decided what the heck. It is so right on target with so many people I know! I don't understand the people who say that they don't know how the book arrived at its information or that they didn't see thier name. In the first part of the book (that would be the part before the definitions of the names!) they explain why they used kabbalah, runes, and numerology and how you can use these tools to decode other names not included in the book. There are charts and worksheets to help you out. Great fun reading!
Most of us can probably relate to having the same experience with people of the same name - for example maybe every Kelly you've met has been very kind. Names have their own associated energy and are part of why we have certain personalities. This book does an excellent job of explaining why names have these characteristics.The book also goes into a number of historical ways names are interpreted and gives tools to help interpret names in general. The book does not list every name, it would be impossible, but the foundation it provides is excellent. The descriptions of the names included in the book seem pretty insightful and there are a fair number of names in there. I was really impressed with the explanation of how names have meaning but I like to know how things work. If you just want a huge list of names with no background on why names have meaning then other books may be better.I highly recommend this book for those interested in the topic. It's much better than "The Secret Meaning of Names", which I found incredibly disappointing and ended up returning.
My first surprise was that my name, with my spelling, showed in this book! That was a first for me. The next surprise was how accurate it was! Not just for me, but for just about everyone who I showed it to. Very interesting reading and lots of fun with a group of people. I was also interested to see how direct negative statements were avoided and what a positive tone was maintained. A great read. Also interesting for parents about to pick baby names.
I love this book. It was given to me by a friend because I do numerology & nomenology readings professionally. Amazing how accurate it is. Gives lots of info besides the meaning of names, such as what colors are good for you & why. The kinds of herbals & plants you need around you for your best potential. As well as stones & jewels to wear & the kind of energy they impart. Well worth reading & keeping on hand. I even use it when I hire someone or make an appointment with anyone, such as a doctor, hairstylist etc, to see if they are compatible for me.
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!
This is such an amazing book! Everyone who looks up their name in this book thinks it scary how accurate it is! People ask me to bring it to parties and get togethers all the time. My full name is Alexandra and I go by Alex and the one interpretation on Alex that doesn't sound like me matches on Alexandra. So cool. It matches my husband to a T.
I'm sure the profiles listed in this book wouldn't be true for everyone, but my profile was very true. I wondered while reading the book whether my life was the way it was because of my name or whether I was named what I was because of fate. In any case, the book was FUN! "Take what you like, and leave the rest."
I bought this and a couple of other books for my granddaughter who is wanting to write books and wanted to know the meanings of names to be able to use them in her books. I don't know if she is happy with it or not.
