    <title>Mar 1, Dating? Taylor Swift &amp; Tim Tebow? Would It Work?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Dating?-Taylor-Swift-&amp;-Tim-Tebow?-Would-It-Work?</link>
    <description>Singer Taylor Swift and football player Tim Tebow's names are in the news as potentially dating. Would they make a good couple together? What do their names say? 

Both take what they love to the extreme. Both like to be at the top of their game, and if they can't be at the top, then why even bother?  Tim is focused on family and relationships while Taylor is focused on work. She'd want to keep working and not be controlled in any way. Tim can be supportive of his significant other, while Taylor will work hard behind the scenes to show her love through action, not mush. They don't have any conflicting letters per say that would cause major problems in the relationship. However, both would need to leave their competitive spirits outside of the relationship, which both are capable of doing. Taylor likes to have things her own way once she's figured out the most practical way to do something. Other than that, she doesn't need to be the one in control as long as the other person is competent. Tim can handle anything. He enjoys being included and is a natural leader. So in leadership requirements they are compatible.  Taylor is more artistic or creative and wants the world to be fair. She will stand up for others and herself. Tim is more easy-going and is more selective of where his time is spent. There is a lot of commonalities in their names where they would have a strong friendship.</description>

    <title>Feb 23, Why do we all love Whitney Houston and why did she become a drug addict?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Why-do-we-all-love-Whitney-Houston-and-why-did-she-become-a-drug-addict?</link>
    <description>Whitney Houston's name is fairly unique as Whitney is not a common name. We will use her name to help understand her behavior choices. The first I in her name indicates that family is the most important thing in Whitney's life. That is one of the many characteristics indicated by the first vowel of I. The 'T' next to the 'I' takes the importance of family to the extreme. Family becomes the most important thing in Whitney's life. Then the 'H' leading into the 'IT' says that she will go with the flow within the family. Said another way, whatever her spouse wants, if she can deliver it, she will. Thus, with a positive influence she is positive, but with a negative or toxic influence, she becomes negative. Marrying Bobby Brown made him the most influential person in her life and she imitated him to please him. Thus, her name indicates why she made the choices that she did. &lt;/p&gt;

Why do we love her so much and why hasn't her popularity lessened with her addictive actions? That is because her name ends in 'EY' which indicates that she loves to rescue others. In return, we wish we could rescue her.</description>

    <title>Feb 11, What soft drink was a hit in the US but not in Spanish speaking countries?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#What-soft-drink-was-a-hit-in-the-US-but-not-in-Spanish-speaking-countries?</link>
    <description>Do names really matter? You bet they do, especially when the name of the product is great in one language but the same word offensive in another language. Take for example the name of the soft drink Fresca which had problems when it was sold in Mexico. Why? In Mexico, the word Fresca is slang for lesbian.  Any time a product is being named, alternative languages must be considered as to not inadvertently offend another culture, especially if you plan on marketing to that culture.   Thinking of starting a business or creating a new product? Let me assist you in finding the perfect name.</description>

    <title>Feb 9, How did Queen Latifah's transformation from being Dana Owens change her?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#How-did-Queen-Latifah's-transformation-from-being-Dana-Owens-change-her?</link>
    <description>Queen Latifah, whose real name is Dana Owens, has a new movie out called &quot;Joyful Noise&quot; where she plays a conflicting role challenging Dolly Parton to save a church choir.  So, how did Dana Owens change when she decided to be called Queen Latifah?  &lt;p/&gt;

Queen Latifah added more emotion to her personality, more ability to feel the different characters that she might be portraying. She also gave herself permission to put herself first instead of continually self-sacrificing for the good of others. Her boundaries also got firmer and were better enforced.  One of the qualities that were added, to her advantage, was her ability to imagine and be even more creative. On the personal side, Queen Latifah also declared, with this new name, that she would become a blessing for others.</description>

    <title>Feb 7, Ivan the Terrible had quite a reputation. Was he appropriately named?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Ivan-the-Terrible-had-quite-a-reputation.-Was-he-appropriately-named?</link>
    <description>Ivan's are not terrible unless they have a horrid last name that absolutely conflicts with their first name. Ivans are family oriented and will protect their families at all costs. They love to be included and are insulted if left out. Ivans can be quite sexy. They know how to work, yet prefer not to do any more work than they have to do. They do enjoy making the world a better place in direct conflict to the tag name of &quot;The Terrible&quot;. Ivan's have a great memory, so it is best not to cross them.</description>

    <title>Feb 2, What is up with the name Barbara that Streisand wanted to remove one of the ‘A’s?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#What-is-up-with-the-name-Barbara-that-Streisand-wanted-to-remove-one-of-the-‘A’s?</link>
    <description>The name Barbara holds many challenges as there are many ‘A’s so that spirituality, not religion, is important. Barbara’s are highly competitive and there are high expectations for success both self imposed and from others. Barbara’s have fairness issues and want the world to be fair for everyone according for their own definition of fairness.  Barbara’s may have a hard time speaking up for themselves, and yet they don’t have any problem speaking up for another’s rights. They don’t want another person to get the raw end of a deal. Barbara’s feel its important to be likable while simultaneously unwilling to change who they are to get liked as they know that can be fleeting.  When Streisand deleted the second ‘A’ in the spelling of her name, it diminished her need for absolute justice even though it is still important.</description>

    <title>Jan 31, John’s can be nicknamed Jack, but no Jacks are nicknamed John. Why?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#John’s-can-be-nicknamed-Jack,-but-no-Jacks-are-nicknamed-John.-Why?</link>
    <description>The name John is similar to the character Jekyll and Hyde in so far as when they are good they are very, very good, however, when they are… well you know the rest of that story.  John’s like to be the CEO of the people around him.  The great news is that they have fabulous memories.  We do not want a John upset with us as they can be angels walking the earth when our friends, and torrent when upset. Jack’s are more mild tempered, quick on their feet and just as bright as Johns. Jack’s though don’t need to be the one in charge, nor do they have a Jekyll and Hyde capability.</description>

    <title>Jan 27, What name that loves to be the ruler, who loves to be the top boss?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#What-name-that-loves-to-be-the-ruler,-who-loves-to-be-the-top-boss?</link>
    <description>The name Yvonne has all of the desires and abilities to be a great boss. There are challenges in this name as there are in all names and one of the challenges in this name is not to create fear in others while in the leadership position. In other words, Yvonnes must be careful not to rule through fear and threats or want to get revenge when things don’t go their way. Other than that, Yvonne is one of the best names for a female leader.  They are dynamic, gracious hosts and can handle multiple responsibilities and tasks simultaneously. Yvonne can make everyone feel welcome around her, and tactfully influence others to carry out their will. Yvonne is a dynamic individual, not influenced by others, and yet able to influence others who wishes to make a difference in the world.</description>

    <title>Jan 26, Are the Renee’s you know empathic?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Are-the-Renee’s-you-know-empathic?</link>
    <description>Notice that 60% of the letters in the name Renee are all Es. This causes Renee to be so empathic that Renee has a challenge discerning what is being perceived from self vs. what belongs to others. They take on other people’s problems as if they were their own. Renee wears the sword of truth and dislikes being around others that are dishonest. Remember that truth is always perceived from the eyes of the beholder.  So Renee’s truth may not agree with yours. Renee’s are people connected and love to really get to know others and to know who they are and what motivates them. Renee’s are detectives and great listeners.</description>

    <title>Jan 24, Are People With The Last Name Winter Cold?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Are-People-With-The-Last-Name-Winter-Cold?</link>
    <description>Suppose your last name is Winter, since many winters are cold, would you have a standoffish personality? The answer is absolutely no, as the last name represents your environment and not the core of who you are. People with the last name of Winter may find that other people are slow to warm up to them though.  The positive side of having Winter for a last name is that you will be surrounded by people who learn from experience and who are willing to share those experiences with you.</description>

    <title>Jan 19, Dwight rhymes with Bright, Are Dwight’s Bright?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Dwight-rhymes-with-Bright,-Are-Dwight’s-Bright?</link>
    <description>Dwights learn through experience, they don’t like to make the same mistake twice.  Making it once does not bother them. Thus they can appear bright yet aren’t necessarily any brighter than anyone else.  Dwight is family oriented with most of his time being occupied by family. Dwight’s challenge is to work toward his goals even when he realizes that he may only end up being mediocre at the task.  Dwight’s get smarter, or brighter if you will, as they age since they learn from experience.</description>

    <title>Jan 19, Joe is short for Joseph, does that mean he gets a short personality too?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Joe-is-short-for-Joseph,-does-that-mean-he-gets-a-short-personality-too?</link>
    <description>Joe is smart and a leader and one who has to be his own leader, as he won’t find a guru that has his answers for him.   He has to be careful not to diminish himself in order to fit in with the crowd, as that will lead him off of his life path and possibly into experimenting with addictive behaviors via the use of alternative substances or sex. Joe is generous with his time and would probably be a prankster of sorts and have a great sense of intelligent humor.   He’d be fun and a bit full of himself.  Remember, the last name influences all of the characteristics found in the first name and can make them either easier or harder to see.

    <title>Jan 18, Just for fun, let's compare two names...</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Just-for-fun,-let's-compare-two-names...</link>
    <description>Just for the fun of it, let’s compare names. Suppose a Bryan wanted to see how a Hannah Birgitta would fit with him?  The name Hannah is like a math palindrome as it is the read the same forward as it is backwards.  People who have palindrome names can see ideas from all points of view and are occasionally challenged when needing to decide which is their point of view, as they understand so many different points.  Under stress Hannah exhibits more of Birgitta’s characteristics. Bryan and Hannah Birgitta share many common letters.  They don’t have letters that conflict with each other. However, they do have letters that demand that they either do their best or don’t play, and that can cause conflict until both learn how to communicate in a non-competitive way. Bryan wants to make the world a better place while Hannah wants everyone to feel good. These are different aspects of the same direction. The real challenge for these two people comes from having almost too much in common. Thus, when its good, its really, really good, but when its bad, its, well, let’s not go there.</description>

    <title>Jan 17, Are Sherry's as Sweet as the Wine?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Are-Sherry's-as-Sweet-as-the-Wine?</link>
    <description>Sherry is a fortified wine made from white grapes that are grown near the town of 
Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.  Per Wikipedia, most Sherry’s are initially dry with the sweetness added later.  So, does the name Sherry have anything to do with being dry or sweet?  The name Sherry represents a person who is smart in school, needs her freedom and requires alone time to be able to reflect. She is a great listener and is easy to like. Sherry’s are as charming and desirable as the wine.</description>

    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Cynthia,-oh-Cynthia,-who-art-thou-Cynthia?</link>
    <description>Cynthia is an interesting name as there are so many nicknames that can be spelled so many different ways from the name Cynthia.  Remember, the birth name is the core of the person with the first name representing their essence and the last representing their environment.  We can change our names to say this is what we are showing to the world, however, it does not change who we are inside. Cynthia’s learn via conflict and need to be right and in control of themselves and in charge of others. They can be charming and charismatic, and highly likable, besides being quite independent. Cynthias will never be ruled by others nor do anything they don’t want to do. Highly spirited, Cynthias are determined to lead productive lives that help others while they learn from their myriad of experiences.</description>

    <title>Jan 14, Does Your Name Sound Pleasant to the Ears?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Does-Your-Name-Sound-Pleasant-to-the-Ears?</link>
    <description>There are names that sound like honey and names that screech at us.  Some highly pleasant sounding names are Deirdre, Hope, and Melody.  Toxic sounding names are those with too many harsh sounds in them.  Do pleasant sounding names correlate to pleasant personalities?  Let’s dissect these three names so that you can decide.&lt;p/&gt;
•	Dierdre sounds literally dear, and the lead D in her name would make her highly connected with spirit. She is family oriented and gives most of her time to family. She’s an expert in her own field, generous with her time and loves physicality. She is expressive and outgoing, with a strong rebellious streak when she hears the word no.&lt;p/&gt;
•	Hope is also connected with spirit and loves to join the flow of positivity. She is a natural nurturer and caregiver. She does expect loyalty in return. Hope can be a pied piper and people willing follow her anywhere. She is generous with her time and able to juggle many responsibilities simultaneously. She always makes sure her friends are okay.&lt;/p&gt;
•	Melody is a fabulous listener as she hears what is said and what is not said. She has a way of understanding the root cause of difficulties and can pinpoint the underlying feelings. She is able to take care of herself and in turn has plenty left over to care for all the other people around her. She is a chameleon as she is able to get along with anyone she chooses. She can be nurturing, yet is highly selective where she spends her energy. She too is connected to spirit.</description>

    <title>Jan 13, The Book of Daniel is quite progressive in the Bible. Are all Daniels like the one in the Bible?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#The-Book-of-Daniel-is-quite-progressive-in-the-Bible.-Are-all-Daniels-like-the-one-in-the-Bible?</link>
    <description>Just as all Johns are not alike, all Daniels are not alike. The first name is like the ingredients that we have on hand to use and the last name is the recipe that we use to decide how much of what is going into the mix. For ingredients, all Daniels have a strong ego or sense of self and all can flip between being a workaholic and a couch potato. They want to make the world a better place and will have some sort of divine connection. The last name will determine how strong the divine connection is and how it shows up as well as whether the Daniel is arrogant about his self-confidence or not. For example, the last name of Wiseman would indicate that Daniel may have had arrogant moments but would definitely grow out of it with age, while other last names would indicate that Daniel would become a pain in the side. Last names are important indeed as with the name Daniel the last name would also indicate whether a particular Daniel is motivated by doing good or too lazy to do much good.</description>

    <title>Jan 12, Paula is not a common name. Are Paula’s common?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Paula-is-not-a-common-name.-Are-Paula’s-common?</link>
    <description>Paula is a wonderfully balanced name understanding the need to both play and work hard.  Paulas can be Pied Pipers, leading people into doing more good or causing more harm. They are naturally persuasive, hard working, confident and likable. They can also use others as they are easy to believe even when wrong. Paulas need to have fun at whatever they are doing; hence if work isn’t fun, they don’t want to do it and can start complaining, encouraging others also to complain. However, if they enjoy work, they will lift everyone else’s spirits and people won’t be able to wait to get to work daily. Paulas, those who are positive are like angels on earth, while those that are negative cause trouble behind the scenes until they create a small earthquake of damage behind them. All names have gifts and challenges, yet within this name, the difference between choosing the gifts over the challenges or vice versa makes a huge difference.</description>

    <title>Jan 11, Betty and Veronica of Archie cartoon fame. In real life they are …</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Betty-and-Veronica-of-Archie-cartoon-fame.-In-real-life-they-are-…</link>
    <description>The names Veronica and Betty were famous in the Archie cartoon series. The Archie Comics introduced many lovable characters. In real life Veronica would be the sexy one just as in the comics. Veronica would be likable, but not change who she is to get liked. She would have charisma and natural sex appeal. Veronica would also be logical, use deductive reasoning and also highly practical. Veronica would never give up control to someone else as she wants to be the one in charge of herself.

Betty's name indicates that she would be competitive, and want to be the best at what she did. If she couldn't be the best than she wouldn't want to participate. Betty would have good hand-eye coordination and would feel the best when physically fit.  Betty would fit into any group that she wants as she was a chameleon and could sense what others expected of her. Betty would be outstanding in whatever area her interest took her as her nature is to strive to be the very best. Betty can be emotional, is basically a people person and gets attached to others. She is the detective and always wishes to know what makes another person tick. Betty may, at times, be slow to start, but once she is in gear she epitomizes the Energetic Bunny.</description>

    <title>Jan 10, Scramble the letters and see what happens to names.</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Scramble-the-letters-and-see-what-happens-to-names.</link>
    <description>Richard Millhouse Nixon was the first US president whose name contains all the letters from the word &quot;criminal.&quot; Do you know who the other president was? Answer in a moment. Does that mean that Nixon was a criminal? No, we can scramble the letters in many people's names to create negative words but that doesn't mean the person is guilty. However, when a word appears in a name without being scrambled, it is highly important to pay attention to that word. Take the name Madison. Would you want people calling you mad all the time? The actual letters, when interpreted mean that others take advantage of her, she is a workaholic who sacrifices herself for the good of the whole and she strives to be perfect in the eyes of the divine. Perhaps it is that perfectionism that makes her mad? Words within a name are important as are initials that are indicated in a name. The answer to the other president who has the word criminal in his name when the letters are scrabbled is William Jefferson Clinton.</description>

    <title>Jan 7, &quot;Charles in Charge&quot; was aptly named.</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Charles-in-Charge-was-aptly-named.</link>
    <description>Charles is an interesting name as these people are a dichotomy. On the one hand they are incredibly hard working and need things to be done right the first time and will drive others to distraction until their perfectionism is met. On the other hand, when they decide to be lazy, they are some of the best couch potatoes out there.  Charles makes things harder for himself than they need to be. This is also true of directive names like Charlie.  What helps Charles be successful is his ability to see things from another's point of view. This doesn't mean he agrees with them, just that he can understand them.  Charles would like to be quiet but is driven to speak up such that quality is achieved in what is happening around him. Charles loves to be in charge, as he likes things his own way, and yet doesn't want to be in charge as he would rather not carry as much responsibility as he does.  He doesn't waver once his mind is made up, yet the process he goes through to make up his mind is mind blogging.  Good or bad, right or wrong, whatever Charles finally decides to do, he does thoroughly and no one will talk him out of his plans. Charles is a force and one that hopefully is used positively.</description>

    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Daniel-in-the-Bible-was-a-prophet,-are-all-Daniels-prophets?</link>
    <description>The name Daniel, as in all names, comes with both gifts and challenges. Daniel is an incredibly strong name and the people who have this name often have strong egos. They know how to work and lean toward being a workaholics, however, they can also tip the scale and be incredibly lazy also. Daniels feel they have a divine connection, and as such are driven wherever their passion lies. Highly independent, organized in their own way, not that it makes sense to anyone else, Daniels are either remarkable or tragic. There is no middle ground. The Bible speaks of a remarkable Daniel who foresaw many things. Dan Rather was a remarkable newsman. Then there is the other side, some of the best crooks out there. Daniels investigate, they are smart, they can be fabulous. Just be sure you know which side your Daniel favors.</description>

    <title>Jan 5, Corinna is an unusual name. Can we decipher all names?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Corinna-is-an-unusual-name.-Can-we-decipher-all-names?</link>
    <description>Yes, of course all names, familiar names or totally unique, can be interpreted with Neimology® Science. Corinna is a dynamic name indicating a person who likes to be in charge and enjoys being right. She leads so that she learns; the two are synonymous with her. She is highly independent and exceptionally well organized in the areas of her interest. Considering how dynamic this name is, it is amazing that she is also quite amicable and easy to like. This is important to her, however, not important enough for her to change who she is to get liked. 
Last names make a difference with such a strong first name. Suppose your last name started with the letter B, it would add pressure on you to perform. However, if your last name started with a BR, you would be inclined not to do well until you left your parent's home as they would have over pushed you.

    <title>Jan 4, Jolie means pretty in french; are all Jolie's pretty?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Jolie-means-pretty-in-french;-are-all-Jolie's-pretty?</link>
    <description>Most people are familiar with the name Jolie because of actress Angelina Jolie, even though Jolie is also a popular first name. Using Neimology® Science we see that the first name of Jolie means intuitively brilliant. Others can ask questions that Jolie would answer and then think, how did you not know this? Isn't it obvious? Jolies like to be in charge and maintain their independence while simultaneously cooperating with others. Jolies are natural nurturers, and love taking care of others, or making sure others are okay. They do expect loyalty in exchange for this and it hurts them tremendously if someone speaks poorly of anyone that they like or when someone speaks poorly of them. Jolies were born with self-confidence and exhibit it in all they do. They are highly independent and don't like to be told what to do. They love being useful and as such are quite generous with their time. 
When Jolie is the last name, the qualities described above are in the person's surroundings or environment and it is those qualities that influence the person.
   To answer the question are all Jolies pretty? In some realm, physically, emotionally or spiritually the answer is yes. Jolie is a beautiful name.

    <title>Jan 3, We all like sunny days, would we like the name Sunny?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#We-all-like-sunny-days,-would-we-like-the-name-Sunny?</link>
    <description>Jan.2, 2012 Blog post

My goal is to blog once a day with a new name each time. Today's name shall be Sunny. Know that these are the characteristics of the first name uninfluenced by the last name, which can make a difference.

Sunny is focused on having fun. If work isn’t fun, she doesn’t want to do it and becomes a great procrastinator of anything she dislikes.
     She is smart and can learn anything once shown the basics, yet she doesn’t care to be overly taught, or shown too much. Once she understands the basics, she wants to be left alone to figure the rest out for herself. 
     On the one hand, Sunny understands and shares her need for organization and order.  On the other hand, only things of interest need be organized, the rest, who cares?
     Sunny is a chameleon and can get along with anyone. She intuitively knows what is expected from her when interacting with each individual and shows that side of her personality that will make her most endearing to the person who currently has her attention.   Sunny’s great challenge is her need for outside approval, which makes her vulnerable to other’s influence, even in the wrong direction.
     Sunny gets bored easily and thus some may consider her flighty, but they would be mistaken.   It is her boredom that lends itself to her vivid imagination whereby she can entertain anyone with her stories and often will find a circle of people around her as she enthralls them with one of her tales.  What the people may not realize is that when Sunny comes to the natural ending to the story, and she still wants attention, she starts creating new stuff to keep all eyes on her.  It is often challenging for Sunny to remember where the real story ended as she too starts to believe her own creative version.  The best thing about Sunny is that you will never be bored in her presence.</description>

    <title>Dec 14, Jessica Simpson’s excessive weight gain with her pregnancy is in the news. What do we know about Jessica from her name?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Jessica-Simpson’s-excessive-weight-gain-with-her-pregnancy-is-in-the-news.-What-do-we-know-about-Jessica-from-her-name?</link>
    <description>Jessica’s name indicates that she is an emotional eater and eats to nurture herself.  She also likes to know and share gossip. She is intuitive at knowing what to do to be successful and can brilliantly find alternative solutions to problems. She wants to be liked, yet won’t change herself to get liked.  Jessica is a dichotomy as she is independent and yet is tied to her birth family in a ways where they would still come first even after she is married. Simpson is a dysfunctional last name; hence the television program  “The Simpson’s” is so aptly named.  Jessica needs to be aware when eating that she is not eating to satisfy her emotional needs versus her real needs.  Interestingly, her sister Ashley gained fifty pounds while pregnant. Pregnancy is a  time when both woman allowed themselves to eat freely.</description>

    <title>Dec 13, George Clooney and his new squeeze Stacy; will it last?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#George-Clooney-and-his-new-squeeze-Stacy;-will-it-last?</link>
    <description>George is famous for dating beauties but not marrying. How will this latest relationship do?  George needs change and to constantly be learning something new. He likes beauty and yet also wants a high level of intelligence so that conversation can be inspiring.  George likes to be the detective and delve into the depths of situations. The last thing he wants is to be bored. There needs to be consistency and spontaneity in his mate. He needs to be able to depend on the person and simultaneously be enjoying the conversation as well as the beauty of the person.  Stacy can fit into any group she pleases and is smart, plus she has staying power, as she knows how to go after what she wants and do what is necessary to keep it. The only problem that is readily apparent in this relationship is Stacy’s stubbornness. Stacy enjoys talking facts and is not as interested in feelings, an area where George is sensitive. If she can keep a handle on her stubbornness and remember to consider emotions, the relationship has a good chance.</description>

    <title>Dec 6, Will Sophia and Aiden top the list of names in 2011?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Will-Sophia-and-Aiden-top-the-list-of-names-in-2011?</link>
    <description>The government's official list of the most popular names for 2011 has not been published for 2011, but that hasn't stopped the number of websites that are attempting to put their list of most popular names up. The names that have most mass appeal per these different sites are the names Sophia, and its derivative spellings like Sofia, and the name Aiden. So what do these names mean?&lt;/p&gt;
Sophia is a person who can take command and loves being the boss. She doesn't quite fit into what is considered normal or expected. She is likable, yet isn't going to change what she does, or who she is, to get liked. Sophia is independent, smart and definitely her own person.&lt;/p&gt;
Aiden is a workaholic and could care less if he is in charge; however, if he works for someone who is incompetent, he will slowly but surely take over as incompetence drives him nuts. He can see things from multiple points of view and has a good memory. Aiden is a balanced name between emotions and reason, being able to use both skills equally well. Family is also important to him. Aiden would also find spirituality important. Aiden would not necessarily be considered a man's man, but definitely is good with the ladies once he's in his twenties.</description>

    <title>Dec 5, What do Priscilla, Scott and Oscar all have in common?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#What-do-Priscilla,-Scott-and-Oscar-all-have-in-common?</link>
    <description>All three names have the ‘SC’ in common. So what does that mean?  Have you ever noticed your natural connection or absolute repulsion by people with many letters similar in their name and yours? If we dislike the qualities we see in ourselves, we are naturally repelled when we see those same qualities in others. What we like about ourselves, we also like to see in others. How are those qualities shown in a name? The same letters or combination of letters showing up in different names indicates similar traits. I say similar, as there is always the influence of the last name to take into account. 
     The ‘SC’ mentioned above is not a common combination; neither are the names Priscilla, Scott or Oscar. So, what do they all have in common? They all have the ability to hide their true feelings from the people around them. They could dislike you and you’d never know it.</description>

    <title>Dec 4, Wyden for Senate; Oregon’s Ron Wyden is running for state senator. What does his name tell us?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Wyden-for-Senate;-Oregon’s-Ron-Wyden-is-running-for-state-senator.-What-does-his-name-tell-us?</link>
    <description>Ron Wyden learns from experience and has been taught that he is not supposed to make the same mistake twice. Thus, he can make new ones, but he will constantly be learning from his and other’s experiences. Wyden is logical and practical and would be comfortable with deductive thinking and reasoning. He is comfortable taking the lead and is able to multitask well. He would be known for his memory and over expressing the details and the mundane, as he pays attention to the particulars. His challenge is to not trust the wrong people and to use his own discernment, trusting his intuition, when it comes to believing what others’ say.  His name indicates that he is overly trusting.</description>

    <title>Dec 3, Steve Jobs, Steven Spielberg, Steve Harrison and Steve Olsher; what is in the name Steve?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Steve-Jobs,-Steven-Spielberg,-Steve-Harrison-and-Steve-Olsher;-what-is-in-the-name-Steve?</link>
    <description>Steve Jobs and his original technical partner Stephen Wozniak, along with Steven Spielberg and Steve Olsher have produced amazing results in their work. Both Steve and Steven have imaginations that have benefited mankind, while Stephen is good at executing an idea, even as he is not as gifted in creating them. What is it in the name Steve, Steven and Stephen that help them be so remarkable?  
&lt;/p&gt; Let's address the name Stephen first. This name is not as creative as other derivations of the name, yet it still maintains the ability to see a creative idea from others and follow through on it. Steve and Steven hold creative genius in their names as the 'EVE' combination indicates the ability to birth new ideas. The 'S' gives all three names the ability to learn from others; to understand what another is teaching and then to build on that knowledge for oneself. All Steve's have this capability. So, why aren't all Steve's like this? Some don't give themselves permission or don't feel like they quite fit in ('PH'), and all of it depends on a person's last name.  &lt;/p&gt; Let's look at these four last names: Jobs, Spielberg, Harrison and Olsher. Jobs literally has work in the last name along with brilliance and independent thought coupled with leadership abilities. Steve had to have gained plenty from his parents. Spielberg has the German word for 'play' in his last name. Putting on plays or creating movies is inherent in his name. The 'ERG' combination adds the stimulating and mystery component that helps Spielberg's movies. Harrison is the best authority on how to get publicity for authors and has helped numerous big name authors ranging from Tim Ferriss to Jack Canfield and Robert Kiyosaki. Steve Olsher is the reinvention guru who can be seen in the upcoming film &quot;The Keeper of the Keys&quot;. &lt;/p&gt; Recommendation to all of the Steves out there: act on your creativity and see where it leads you.</description>

    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Lots-of-Richards-including-Richard-the-Lionhearted,-what-does-Richard-mean?</link>
    <description>The name Richard indicates that he is family oriented and considers the world his home. Richards are truth seekers who also have a rebellious nature. They can make things harder than they need to be and also can have quite a temper that flares for seemingly no reason. The name Richard is greatly influenced by his upbringing such that the last name is highly important.</description>

    <title>Nov 13, 18 year old elected mayor.  Can he do the job?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#18-year-old-elected-mayor.-Can-he-do-the-job?</link>
    <description>Unofficial results shows that AREDALE, Iowa has just elected Jeremy Minnier an 18-year-old high school senior as its next mayor. Minnier is the FFA president, writes for the school paper and is in the band. Twenty-four people wrote in Minnier's name to elect him as he received three times the number of votes as the incumbent. So, what kind of mayor will Minnier be?

Jeremy Minnier's name shows that he is brilliant, listens well to others and then does what he wants to do, has normal high school interest in the physical department and is highly likable. His environment has emphasized that he needs to be organized and family oriented. All together, he ought to do a good job as long as being elected doesn't cause his ego to grow. He needs to remember to make logical versus emotional decisions.</description>

    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#What-is-the-difference-between-Stacy,-Stacey-and-Staci?</link>
    <description>Stacy is a special name as these people are usually highly competent in whatever they do. They are so determined and persistent that they will eventually succeed in any field of their choice. Workaholic is too mild a word for Stacys regardless of how they spell the ending in their name. Stacy is friendly and can get along with others easily. Stacey likes to rescue others be they people or animals. Staci needs extra attention. Regardless of which Stacy you choice, you've got a winner as long as the last name doesn't counterbalance the first.</description>

    <title>Nov 7, Anyone ever hear of Claudia Alta Taylor?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Anyone-ever-hear-of-Claudia-Alta-Taylor?</link>
    <description>Claudia Taylor is much better known as Lady Bird Johnson, the wife of Past U.S. President Lyndon Baines Johnson. So, what does her private name tell us versus her public name of Lady Bird?  In her private life, Claudia didn't like to follow the rules, was a workaholic and considered her work fun. She made everything fun. She was highly likeable, independent and believed in a power higher than herself.  In her public life Lady Bird was a workaholic and serious about her work. She knew who she was and what her role was. She remained easy to like and could get along with anyone she wanted to get along, but not with ones she didn't like. She retained her closeness to a divine power and found it harder to determine the truth from non-truth. Under either name, the former First Lady was a lady who enhanced her husband's position and enjoyed being busy behind the scenes.</description>

    <title>Nov 6, Steve, Stephen, Steven, Does Spelling Make a Difference?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Steve,-Stephen,-Steven,-Does-Spelling-Make-a-Difference?</link>
    <description>All three names have the STE beginning in common, thus all three names have the character of either being stubborn or persistent, being interested in others, having people tell them their problems as they are good listeners, and are basically a detective in nature. They are also school smart as they can learn anything once it is presented to them. However, they detest being over managed, and like to learn on their own once the basics are known.  Now for the differences, Steve is charismatic and generous with his time. Stephen doesn't quite fit in with the crowd, he'll be different in some way, while Steven can see things from another's point of view and has a great memory in the areas where his interest lays. All three spellings create a person who is personable and worth knowing.</description>

All of the presidential hopeful names have been analyzed using Neimology® Science on the website under the tab on the left that says Presidents.  Have fun seeing what their names say about them that the press may not. Remember, these are qualities within the name. How this qualities are used is up to the individual.

    <title>Oct 6, In memory of Steve Jobs, Genius behind Apple</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#In-memory-of-Steve-Jobs,-Genius-behind-Apple</link>
    <description>The most outstanding characteristic in Steve Jobs' name is his persistence. There is no way he is ever going to give up on his dream. Luckily for the rest of us he didn't, as that is how we got to enjoy Mac computers as well as many films.
Steve Jobs name states he wanted to nurture others and was a constantly learning something new. He hungered for new knowledge. His name also states that Steve Job was competitive due to outside pressures, he had empathy and others around him benefited by his generosity.  He willingly gave of his time to help others. 
    Amazingly, his name also states that he felt like he didn't quite fit in with the rest; that he just thought differently than most. How lucky we all are that he did.  
     Bless you Steve, wherever you are now.</description>

    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Amanda-Knox;-innocent-or-guilty?-What-does-her-name-say?</link>
    <description>Amanda's name is interesting indeed. She could be innocent or she could be guilty by her name, but she will not be jailed as she has so many spiritual letters in her name. It is as if she has too many guardian angels for her to be found guilty in the long run. She can hold her ground and can be quite competitive besides being a workaholic. With time she'll become closer to spirit due to the location of the 'D' in her name. Amanda is an interesting mix to be sure.</description>

    <description>Would you bring Fido into your loving home? How about Rex, Max or Charlotte the Pig?  What do our pet names have to say? What do they tell us about our pets?  
Normally an animal is already named prior to us getting the animal, unless it is our pet that has just had babies. Then we get to do the naming. In either case, the name that our pet hears is who our beloved pet will become. Continued at Boomer Living magazine.</description>

    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#Your-name-is-your-brand-and-it-advertises-you-just-like-product-brand-names-do.</link>
    <description>Your brand name represents your reputation, indicates your business ethics and becomes the symbol of what people think of you. The same is true for your own name. Your name is your brand, your representation of who you are.  People received impressions of who you are, consciously or unconsciously, based on your name.  When we hear a first name, we immediately think of other people who have shared that same first name that we have previously met. Our impression of others we know with the same first name correlates into our first impression of the new person. Actually our first impression of a person lies in the first initial of the first name. Want to know more? Entire article on www.boomer-living.com</description>

    <title>Sep 24, What is in the name Hong Kong that makes it such a popular destination?</title>
    <link>http://www.bestnamemeanings.com/name-meanings-blog.html#What-is-in-the-name-Hong-Kong-that-makes-it-such-a-popular-destination?</link>
    <description>Rome is the city where all roads meet, while Hong Kong is the place where all cultures meet. Hong Kong has a reputation for good shopping, alluring views and plenty of things to do. Best of all its reputation is well earned as the city delivers. The name Hong Kong indicates that the city is constantly growing and adapting to changes. As much as Hong Kong wants to grow, it also wants to be the leader in the region. The city takes logical, planned steps in its growth with a keen eye on what is needed next. Thus, it has tourist attractions that also command visitation from the locals. 

No one can possibly be bored in Hong Kong as this city doesn't sleep in its quest to not stay ahead of the surrounding countries in the region. Hong Kong must keep changing and adapting as the name indicates that it cannot stagnate; it needs to change and grow for the sake of change.  Amazingly Hong Kong nurtures its guests and residents alike, and making sure the city and its residents are remembered in a positive way long after the visitor is home.</description>
