Answer 1

I am Rational Spirituality,

My answer to your question is yes. The parents are guided at the child's birth to give it a name that will best reflect its personality. Also, a Soul is guided to be born into a family whose surname somehow suits its path. Observe, that some of the greatest figures in history had quite outstanding names: Hipocrates, Amerigo Vespucci (after whom America is named), Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, etc. "Roosevelt" implies someone who has ideals about the world and attempts to better it. What better surname could the two presidents be born into? Abraham implies someone huge, what better name could America's greatest president be given?

Answer 2

A name does many things to many people:
a) It affects the parents discussing it. My parents talked about my name so much that by the time I was born they had grown tired of it. Instead they named me after a new comic strip character.
b) It affects the child in learning to pronounce/spell/write it.
c) It impacts the child in how others will pronounce/spell/it.
d) It determines the nature of the nickname they will get or the taunt used against them.
e) My wife's last name began w/ Z and it meant she was last for everything. She claims changing it to M was one of the reasons she married me. Go figure.
f) And finally, while the uniqueness of a Kira or Xai may make one feel special, there is nothing behind it. We named our oldest Benjamin - son of the right hand. Adopted, he has never felt the slightest interest in learning of his past - he knows he belongs.
g) My oldest and I share a family middle name which means,
"well born." We have both walked through life with such a confidence.
So - yes. As is also the case w/ our other 3 adopted adults. And, as I have found out, especially so in less "developed" countries.

Answer 3

The name change signifies new ownership in the same way a woman changes her name when she gets married. It represents being born into a new family, in a sense. He was a new person, so, naturally his life should have also changed.

Very few people name their children for character attributes nowadays like the Hebrew custom.

Now, Horace Whimp will always have a problem with his name and his self image.

Answer 5

No. You give your name a meaning, according to what you do on its behalf. The name doesn't affect you. You affect what the name represents for the people around you.

Answer 6

It sure makes a difference on how people treat you! Gives you an "edge." Ask Queen Latifah and Donald Trump if "name" makes a difference!

Absolutely. Example: Name a girl Bambi and she probably has to try twice as hard as a girl named Mary to be taken seriously.
