Complete with the principle colors, gemstones, and herbs that harmonize with each name, this delightfully accessible book at last gives you the means to uncover the hidden truth and unique traits of your name.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Very interesting read Comment: I found this book at a used book store and snatched it right up, as it was right up my alley. I browsed through the names of my friends and then started taking it to work with me. People wanted copies of the page that talked about their names and the names of their significant others. I really enjoyed the first part of the book where it tells you how to decrypt your name if it's not in the book. Granted it won't be as in detail as what they wrote, but you get the same general idea. Wonderful book for people who are interested in anything to do with any kind of astrology or new age things, also for people who are interested in anything to do with human behavior and factors that affect it. I would definately recomend this book to anyone, and may just buy a hardback copy for myself. Customer Rating: Summary: Ever wonder what your name says about you? Comment: Bought this book because my friend had it and I liked it. I think it's great to just read for fun and share with friends. The book has 3 different interpretations of your name. I find the last intepretation to be the most accurate and my friends agree. Just a nice pass time. Customer Rating: Summary: Great gift idea - inside and out! Comment: I have had this book for many years now, and it is frayed and ripped for all of my friends/co-workers/family making copies for themselves. For Christmas one year I framed each of the names on pretty stationary paper and gave it as gifts to my friends. Last year I made some for a few co-worker's baby rooms. I love the definitions and everyone I have spoke to says it fits them to a T! I do wish they would extend it and bring it back with a revised version with more updated names as well, but it is pretty easy to do the interpretations step-by-step in the book. Customer Rating: Summary: The Hidden Truth of Your Name Comment: I did not order that book. I am positive. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Resource on Names Comment: 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. More Reviews
