I have one older sister and one younger brother. As you probably know it is hard to be the middle kid. Well my two siblings were named after gods. My sister a Hindu diety-Agni, and my brother a norse god of war and death-Odin. Guess what my middle name is......ISREAL. My god, are you kidding me what were my parents thinking. I also happen to be the one with the worse brain and life. I seem to be more affected by the abuse of my father than my sister. I am horrible at putt-putt, I cant even ever beat my little brother at it, or bowling.My brother is told to be a genius who can do math in his head. My sister can keep good grades, while I get D's and F's. I have yet to get any friends or especially girlfriend. My brother has multiple friends and girlfriends. My sister even more so. I have only had one nerd friend in my life now I have none. Is this just a coincidence?

Names have a tremendous and far-reaching effect on a person's life. Activated at birth or even before, first names are repeated and used daily by way of writing, verbalization and thought. In fact, until a child gets to school age, he or she will probably only identify with a first name. As the first name is said, written, used and thought over and over every day, the vibrational energy of the name's frequency will affect the formation and expression of a personality, encouraging certain traits and downplaying others. Choice of friends and mates, career preferences, financial habits and health tendencies are all impacted by the first name. Everyone has an innate personality... with the first name providing many of the finishing touches!

And I would also like to note that Odin wasn't just a God of war and death, he was primarily the Norse God of wisdom and knowledge. If you are named after a deity, you will take on the attributes they possess.

You should consider changing your name legally if it is bringing you that much misery. In the earliest of times and through many cultures, names were considered tools for growth and a medium for personal evolution. Sure, names have always been a handy means of identification. But ancient people understood that each name carries an energetic frequency that affects the name bearer's life in a multitude of ways.

So it was, in Native American tradition that people would take on a new name when going from one important phase of life to another. It was not uncommon for an individual to "wear" several names during one lifetime. Likewise, there are many instances in the Bible where a name was changed when a person was struggling or shifting perspective. Jesus, recognizing that apostle Simon was weak in confidence, changed his name to Peter. Sarai, frustrated at never conceiving a child, had her name changed at 90 years of age to Sarah. In Jewish tradition, even today, when a person is gravely ill, the rabbi will sometimes step in and change the individual's name to provide a more solid and stable energetic frequency for recovery.

To receive a name at birth, never again to question or evaluate that name, is to ignore one of life's most powerful resources. In fact, many names have built in variations that can be activated as conditions require.

There are many reasons why a person might choose to evaluate, change or alter a name:

To achieve a less cumbersome spelling.
To acquire a name that better promotes a particular career.
As a result of a marriage or divorce.
Simply because the name does not or never has felt comfortable.
Because the effects of a name spelling are highly discordant, negative and detrimental.
To assist in the achievement of particular life goals.

No, the understanding of each being both impacts the so called or assumed predetermined destiny, so events that take position interior the existence in reality is the end results of the interaction of those and many different forces.

Some believe it is true...lol
Obviously, if your parents gave you an inappropriate name, you will be teased and ridiculed as a child, and get a low self esteem, as a result.
Others believe, that the meaning of the name is affecting the personality...
Well, Israel is the name of Archangel, so perhaps, it is not too bad...
I am Seraphima, for one...lol
And you can always change your name legally.
I guess the new film of Mira Nair was about it..
But as you grow and get self confidence you will make your name sound great, not otherwise.

I don't think it has anything to do with your name or theirs. I, too am a middle child, but that doesn't mean that we can't make as much of ourselves as anyone else. What you do with your life, how you do in school and your social life are really up to you and have more to do with your personality than anything else. As far as school work and grades, study harder. if you want to do better, you can but it takes putting in the time studying and working at it. The more you put into something the more you get out of it. It sounds like you have a bit of a self esteem problem right now. Decide that you want to do better and get to work at it.Anyone can get good at games like bowling or putt putt with some practice. Besides, they're games and should be fun and not upset you because you don't win. Try to stop comparing yourself with your siblings. You are each unique individuals with your own strengths and weaknesses. Be yourself, try opening up to other people a bit more to make friends. You can change all the things you have mentioned here if you are willing to work at it and really apply yourself. Have a bit of patience, too. Be proud of who you are and work harder to better yourself for yourself, not to be better than anyone else. Good luck

If so, it would be because of the expectations your name seems to have attached to it. In all reality, unless your name is extremely different, I'll bet not. If you look at some very successful people's middle name, I'm sure you'd be quite surprised!

I have no idea if a name can predetermine a persons aptitude towards success or failure-- but mindset can, and yours seems a little down. My step-mother hated her birth name. HATED IT. So she changed it and she was happier so better things came into her life. We can rarely control everything about our environment-- however we can control our reactions TO the environment...
Hang in there.... try to keep a positive attitude, and if you need to-- if you want to-- change your name. Be who YOU want to be..... Good Luck

Hey, I have a crappy first name.
Took me 20 years to get people to call me by my middle name, which I like.
I've been more successful with my middle name. Honest
