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
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
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!
