An international bestseller with over 3 million copies sold outside the USA, it provides an accurate analysis of our personality based solely on the name we bare. Index includes over 9,000 names - described in 80 chapters. 85 graphic illustrations (called name portraits) convey the message in a glance. An invaluable resource for new parents or people wanting to change their name. Opening chapters explain why our names, culture, magnify, or restrict aspects of our personalities Provides guidelines for choosing correct names for new born babies or name changes. ~~~~~ "A name is a reservoir of energy, and this makes good sense" The constant repetition of the syllables of our names, "this harmony," ends up having a significant influence on the development of our personalities. Names contain secret vibrations we are unaware of, yet which exist nonetheless-just as we are unaware of the sound from an ultrasonic whistle that a dog hears perfectly well. If we admit the existence off these vibrations, which are different for each name, it is not hard to imagine that they can resonate with something inside us and trigger different reactions in us, according to the name we bare. This is to say, a name can change an individual, and can effect 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 ~~~ ~~~~~ "In every place and time, everyone has received a name. It is the first and most lasing influence we give to our children. Something this far reaching should not be mindlessly chosen according to the current trends of fashion. This book contains over 9000 names and Pierre Le Rouzie has spent 50 years researching their characteristics. It is worth your time to read the book-your children will thank you later."~~~~ ~~~ Rodney Charles, Bestselling author of Miracles of the Saint ~~~~~ ~~~ Published by 1stworldpublishing.com &1stworldlibrary.com ~~~

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly Amazing, September 28, 2001

By 

Maria R. Arambulo (Chino Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Name Book (Paperback)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing and astonishing!, March 7, 2002

By 

allison (Jacksonville, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Secret Meaning of Names (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable!, May 2, 2000

By 

Wendi - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Secret Meaning of Names (Paperback)

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!
