Babyzone.com has always been my main source for names, and today I found this tool

http://www.babyzone.com/babynames/baby-name-advisor.asp

You input a person's full name and it gives a personality portrait.
I tried mine and my partner's full names and I was struck at the description it offered.
Now, I'm not one to go after quizzes or horoscopes *at all*, and I generally think the outcome is a global answer that really anyone can relate to.

But the ones it gave me were so in depth and so accurate, it blew my mind.
And from only a name? :D

Try it out !!

I tried this with my son's and my husbands name, they have the same first name but different middle names. I got the same results for both.

That's interesting I got different results with my maiden and married names.

I got the same result for me (michelle) and my boyfriend (michael) and while we are alike, most of the things in the profile are not really true for him (they are true for me). However, I put in the name of my ex (also michael, lmao) and it came up with something different (also totally inaccurate).

My boyfriend and I got the same results. Mine was closer to accurate, but still pretty far off. But I learned something new about myself: my vowel vibrations apparently suck.

I tried my SO's name, my name, my name with my SO's last name, and our favorite boy and girl name and I got different results for all of them. The results intended to reflect my SO and me weren't particularly accurate, but there were things in them I could relate to. The one given to my boy name sounded more like me than the one I got. *shrugs*

It's numerology-based, I think, so... only about 10 different options, but about me what it said was mostly accurate.

I tried my name first and it seemed like a pretty good description. Then I tried my mom and it was so-so. Then I tried my dad and he got the same result as me which is nothing like him.

Hmm. I tried my name & it seemed pretty accurate. Then I tried my dad's name, & it was pretty off. I tried my mom's name (using her maiden name) & got the exact same results as mine, even thought my mom & I have pretty different personalities & pretty different names (Nicole Marie V-- & Marsha Sue K---). =/

It said my husband was a stick in the mud and had no passion :/

Mine was the complete opposite of what I'm really like.

Mine was almost exact, except I'm pretty organized.

"The name Geneveigh Louise Sewell induces a sense of freedom and adventure, risks and rewards, gambling and daring acts of courage. The name has passion and excitement.

One senses that Geneveigh Louise Sewell can do anything, is extremely capable, and a true survivor. It is also highly flexible, can adapt to new circumstances quickly, and has excellent reflexes; often, important decisions are made in seconds, seemingly impulsively even. But due to sharp intuition and even sharper intelligence, those decisions are almost always right on the money. Youthful, dynamic and energetic, this name draws people who want things to be "different," and don't like the tried and proven.

Social, outgoing, something skirting the acceptable - or even pushing the envelope of what is legal.

Geneveigh Louise Sewell's most positive characteristics: Productive, dynamic, adaptable. Good at promoting self.

Geneveigh Louise Sewell's most negative characteristics: Can be unorganized, scattered. Lacks direction. Needs maturity and discipline."

I put in my husband's name. I would describe my husband as reliable/dependable, organized, hardworking, stingy/careful with money, not particularly creative or interested in creative endeavors, methodical, a big planner, not very emotional, unsentimental, not particularly generous, pessimistic, cynical, sarcastic, and rather quiet. He hates socializing and dealing with people other than me and a few friends that he values.

According to the baby name advisor:

The name Carleton Philip Walker promotes optimism, inspiration, and enthusiasm. It feels cheerful, outgoing, and charming. This name represents self-expression and communication skills. Its upward energy is a sign of tremendous creativity and all artistic endeavors are empowered by its vibration. The name Carleton Philip Walker attracts just about everyone. It carries great public relation and communication skills, and an innate ability to charm the most cynical folks.

Carleton Philip Walker's most positive characteristics: Upbeat, creative, capable communicator, inspiring, uplifting. Has sense of humor, draws creative and passionate people.

Carleton Philip Walker's most negative characteristics: Scattered energy, difficulty in finishing projects, unreliable.

Just about polar opposites, non?

I put my name in, and the only really accurate thing was the negative characteristics, about having financial ups and downs and being self-destructive.

It said I lack creativity/imagination :(

My love of writing and day-dreaming say otherwise. :D

Also, it says I'm organizational.. partly true. If you saw my room you would think that I am the messiest person ever, but I do like to organize my thoughts into lists and stuff like that. It's weird. Anyway, off on a tangent :P
