My first name didn't make the top 1000 in the 70's or 90's, but made it to 775 in the 80's. Here is the grade for my name:

Siobhan,

The Sharp-Minded, Stimulation-Seeking, Freedom-Loving Non-Conformist

This name influence is all about contrast, duality and conflict. If at all possible, use another form of first name. Take a look at how Maryanna "grades" this name, but do keep in mind that your Full Name also plays an important role in overall influence, thus this component of your name does not alone offer a complete picture of your moniker's effect on your life.

Health: D
Financial Potential: D if a weak full name is used, otherwise the grade could be higher
Professional/Job Success: B+
Relationship/Compatibility: D-
Charisma/Sex Appeal: A
Communication Ability: C
The influence is a mix of masculine and feminine energies actively opposing each other.

Others who share this first name frequency include Olivia Newton-John, Sophia Loren, Donald Trump and Amelia Earhart.


Like I'm going to use another form of myt first name :rolleyes:

I think we do. :) Nicole, right?

That's correct! For some reason I thought we did, but I wasn't positive.

Katherine is a classic name. :)

I have met so many girls with about half of those predicted popular first names. I like three of the girls' names for my future hypothetical daughters. For some reason, the names Morgan for girls and Kyle for boys have been very popular around here.

My Name:
The Quiet, Private, Refined Manager

Health: B+
Financial Potential: A
Professional/Job Success: A
Relationship/Compatibility: B
Charisma/Sex Appeal: A
Communication Ability: B
The frequency is a blend between masculine and feminine influences.

Others who share this first name vibration include Aretha Franklin, Natalie Wood and Gloria Steinem.

I used to hate my name when I was younger because I grew up surrounded by Jennifers, Michelles, Amys, and Stephanies so I felt left out. I got used to it as I grew up.

Funny you should mention that b/c in my brand mgmt class in grad school we just finished a book called "Positioning" it dealt with positiong/branding products, the last two chapters being on positiong yourself and how your name affects it.

My name is hebrew and people always mispronounce it, but my last name is easy.

But my name is also unique, so people tend to not forget it. :D

I like the grades she gives her own name:


The Growth-Oriented, Reliable, Sensitive Communicator
Health: A
Financial Potential: A-
Professional/Job Success: A
Relationship/Compatibility: A
Charisma/Sex Appeal: A
Communication Ability: A

The influence is equally supportive of both feminine and masculine energies.

I, on the other hand, get Ds and Fs. I will cry big fat emo tears!

Hmmm. Methinks you and Ms. MysticCat have the same name.

Does ANYONE know a male named Wendi??? But overall I know my name sucks-- I have told me mom since I was a little kid that it is a stupid name, but my dad named me (after a song no less)-so I can't expect alot

My name is Stormy. Almost everytime that I met the friends of whatever guy I happen to be dating they always say something about a porn star. The last friend I met said "oh, Stormy, like the porn star?". The time before that it was "The only other girl I've ever heard of named Stormy was a porn star".

Despite having a porn star type name, i love it. People always remember me and its an instant conversation started. The last guy I meet told me it was the most kickass name ever.

I was named for my mom's grandmothers. However, it doesn't seem like Rebecca is going to go far, because I got a B- or lower in everything but sex appeal an social skills.

On another intersting note, I share some name vibration goodness with Santa Claus.

Given what she says about personality, etc., I want to be the one to officially call SHENANIGANS!!!!

I think I'd prefer "Rawb" - but if she could fit an apostrophe in there, that would be top tier.

I also like how people with your same 'name frequency' usually have the SAME NAME - I got Rob Reiner. Weird.

I think the bitch is bitter because someone named Tracy stole her boyfriend.

lol, I think my grandfather has amongst the worst names as far as pronouncing goes in America-Ljubisa (the s is pronounced as a hard sh, and the lj is like ly, if anyone understands).

other unpronounceable Serbian male names: Uros, Ugljesa, Ognjen and Srdjan.

I'm not too happy about my grades-I get a D for financial potential. That's proof I'll be poor!

I know a guy named Ashley.

Re: How Does Our Name End Up Affecting Our Lives?
 

Mine's not as common as most names and so it sticks out in people's mind.

But if it weren't for "trendy" names, what would waitpersons do?

"Hi, I'm (fill in trendy name), and I'm going to take care of you today...can I start you off with something from the bar?"

Do they have scripts? They all say the same thing.

I don't know if they have Bugaboo Creek Steakhouses out where you are (or if you've been to one elsewhere) but they all have to have these stupid "rugged" names, I guess to go along with the rugged cabin look of the restaurant. We went there once and our waiter's "name" was Festus.

This site is *weird*

I got the same results as mu_agd and ZTAngel...

and my name is *definitely* not Nicole.

I wonder what theoretical calculations go on ... or if it's just random?

Another Nicole, right here. Hellooooo 1982.

One weird thing I noticed was that I got called Michelle a lot. Not just by one or two teachers, but by a lot of them. Nicole and Michelle were both very popular names in my grade and school, so maybe it was just the fact that they were so popular. When I joined Alpha Phi and I was the only Nicole, I was estatic! And then by the time I graduated I was 1 of 4. :mad: I made them all change to Nikki, Nik, and Nichole (who we called Nic w/a ho).

I wonder if anyone has done a name analysis on middle names. I'm not only a Nicole, but a Nicole Renee... practically all of my girlfriends had middle names like Renee, Lynn, or Nicole. Our parents were so unoriginal it was digusting. :p A lot of guys have middle names like James or Michael, but there was a line in those studies about parents being less adventurous with boys names.

After being stuck with Nicole for so long, I always wanted to name my kids something exotic, like Aurora or Destiny. LOL, I would have given my future kids a complex if I'd been allowed to pick out names when I was 12.

ha. guess what my middle name is?

Hahaha, Michelle?

Okay, that description is so me! I'm not too pleased about my grades though. :( I'm really unhappy that I share a "first name vibration" with W, but Sharon Stone cancels that out. :)

Me, too...A in Charisma/Sex Appeal, mediocre "grades" for the rest. But hey, we'd probably have more fun than everybody else. ;)

I'd have real issues ordering a steak (or anything else) from someone named Festus.

On the other hand, Bugaboo isn't real apitizing either.

No, we don't have them here.

Thankfully.

<---Lot's of chrisma, but not much discipline according to the link.

"Charming" and "High-Strung".....yeah, that's me. :) I'm also especially amused that my name was scored an "A" in Charisma and Sex Appeal, but a paltry D+ in Relationships and Compatibility. Hrm....I guess I just reel them in and then toss them away! LOL

That's ok though, I get to share my "name vibration" with Brett Favre. :D

.....Kelly :)

My name's peak was in the 1950s. Not even in the top 1000 for the past couple of decades.

Two actors, a vaudville queen, and an excuse for a president. Well, gee.

Just for giggles, I checked out "Maryanna"-yeah, she has all As.

That would be correct. My parents are quite creative with the names as my sister has practically the most popular name to comeout of the 70's.

This is what that woman said about my name

eta: she talks about using this name for a boy...I have never heard of a boy named Emily...but when you look at Emil, the profile is different. I normally wouldn't care, but it's almost dead on for me...kind of freaky

You and I have the same middle name! I've never seen anyone else with the middle name Rae.

I thought it was interesting how my "grades" changed just by changing one letter in my name.....

So, is she trying to say that I would have been much better off if I had been LindsAy? Cause I always preferred it the way it is. :)

I can't even do the name thing because apperently there are no matches for Kiersta

Story of my life.... I was never able to get the "name things" that other girls had in their rooms. I always hated the first day of class because teachers could never pronouce my name (they still can't) and introducing myself to people gets old because they always comment on my name.

Its not so bad anymore, and I like that people have an easier time remembering me because of my name (that helped in recruitment!) but I wonder if other people with "different" names had those same problems?


ETA: If I had gone by my middle name (Danielle) I would get all A's....
