Of course we don't have that much freedom to choose our own parents-given name. But do you think your name reflects ur personality?

No, I think our personality is both preset and effected by our surroundings. I have seen newborns with different personalities before they even get used to their names. Then, their surroundings also shape their personality.

Yes, sometimes I think we emulate the meanings even if we don't know them.Mine means wise counselor or adviser. I am the one people get advice from or turn to for some perspective on their situations. Although every Precious or Angel I ever knew were butt-heads to put it nicely.

I guess there is something from the name in the personality either positive or negative. For me it is yes.

Not at all. That doesn't really make sense, because, well... Brian and Chris are popular names, but I'm sure two randomly-selected Brians do not have the same personality.

Yes because my name is
Aspiration Is Hearts-Desire
and that is who I am.
and I wasn't born with it.

No mine does not. I wonder about others that is something trying to be different.
