"Sigmund Freud, often began his sessions by asking about a person's name. You can know more about yourself through your names by these queries:-
* Imagine your parents discussing what name to give you a week before you were born. Did they want a boy or a girl?
* Some babies are named after other people-either relatives or friends or famous personalities. Were you named after anybody? If so, who and why? Has it had any effect on your personality.
* Many children are named after legendary heroes. Later in childhood their stories are retold to them. Can you remember any such stories you have heard as a child.
* Nearly all names have meanings. Were your parents aware of the meaning of your name ? Who chose your name ? Was it chosen for its meaning ?
* Do you have a nickname ? Do you remember when and why you started using it?
* How and by whom were your parents named. Have you noticed any relation between their names and personalities.
* Do people make jokes about your name ? Do You like it
* There is definate Karmic reason behind your name. You are what you are called. So you are what you are called.

Hey, great article! Yes, this "know thyself" advice seems to have come from many of history's great thinkers. A name is probably one of the most important gifts parents give, other than the gift of life itself of course. What an amazing thing. There's a good article about some of the naming factors you mentioned at a site called / titled or whatever Baby Names and Meanings. Help for When You Are Pregnant for Sure such as meanings and so on. The Karmic point you make is interesting though. I hadn't heard that before. Thanks for the insight!
