The influence is primarily masculine whether this name is used for a female or male.
Others who share this first name frequency include Laura Dern, Gregg Braden and Yves St. Laurent.

Sheila,
The Generous, Service-Oriented, Compassionate Caretaker
This name is all about giving. For the naturally generous individual, the demands could become overwhelming. A grounded full name can be of help.

Ringo Starr??? WTF mates??? I've met several other Sheilas but never met a Ringo. I won't go into the fact that she spelled Reese's name wrong :eyeroll:.

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.  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.  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.

Donna,
The Image-Conscious, Fun-Loving, Moody Role Player
Be ready for lots of emotion and drama if you wear this 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: C+
Financial Potential: C
Professional/Job Success: B-
Relationship/Compatibility: C-
Charisma/Sex Appeal: B
Communication Ability: C+
The influence is primarily feminine whether this name is used for a female or male.
Others who share your first name vibration include George W. Bush, Harrison Ford, Sharon Stone and Ann Margret.
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.

The influence is a mix between feminine and masculine energies.
Others who share this first name vibration include Dennis Quaid, Ted Kennedy, Brett Favre and Dennis Rodman.

"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. 
.....Kelly
