Composition of the Name

I n composing a name, be careful of the spelling and where the letters are located.

Two or more of the same letters in the name give particular strength to those letters. This is okay if the letters have stronger characteristics. There is a need to balance letters, which lean toward the egotistical.

Vowels carry particularly strong influences. They tie the name together. For instance, the name “Da Juana” has four vowels and three consonants. The vowels are stronger in the name and thus so are the characteristics. With three “A’s,” this person needs to be careful of starting projects she doesn’t finish. The first letter “D” has significant importance and thus tones down her flightiness. It has a need for stability or finishing what you start.

The name “Claude” has an equal balance. The “U” in the name gives the first letter “C” more importance. This person is quite versatile but could also be a gambler. The “A” increases his desire to live life while the “D” tones the name down a little. It gives him the need for firm foundations.

With two of the same vowels in a name, it doubles the influence on the name. Three or more of the same vowels generally indicate a weakening of character by making challenges in the person’s life. This can also make a person stronger by having to overcome those hazards.

The first letter of the name determines the most tenacious characteristics of the person. Take Catherine. It can be spelled either Catherine or Kathryn. Each is family oriented. The “C” is more aggressive than the passive “K.” Using the “I” in Catherine gives the characteristic of being more humane. The “Y” in Kathryn presents more challenges in life. More decisions will need to be made.

Both these names are spelled correctly. Each is shown to indicate how the spelling affects the personality of the person receiving the name. It’s up to the person to make their personality positive or negative.

Different spelling of the name causes different aspects of traits for the name bearer. This is not a bad principle. It only gives the personality traits that a parent wants for their child.

In looking at the manipulation of a name, take Gian spelled the Italian way rather than John spelled the American way. The first letter, “G,” gives the more contemplative personality type. If the name was spelled with the “J” instead, this person would have been more ambitious. Ambition is great but so is contemplation.

When a name such as Luke is made into a middle name it makes the “L” less strong. Looking at the “L,” it is a consonant that needs continuous accolades. When made less strong, the person is ambitious but not as aggressive as he would have been with the prominent “L.” Consequently, he is still aggressive but happier with his achievements.

The name Mickey gives its wearer consistent challenges. The first vowel, “I” and the last letter “Y,” need family around. The “M,” and “K” tell a different story. Contradicting itself, the letter “Y” pinpoints the question the name raises. The “M’s” spiritual side teaches the lesson they need to learn, which is that it is okay to be alone, while the rest of the name makes them want to be more dependent. The “C” gives this personality the ability to change thoughts without feeling they have done something wrong. Lending itself to strong family foundations is the “M”. With the letter “E” close to the rear of the name, it suggests someone who wants to try to be alone but the placement makes this person unsure they should. This is a person who loves family but puts themselves into situations to have to make decisions about that family.

In working with the name be aware that the placement of consonants and vowels strengthen or weaken the name. Be sure the strength is in the letters you want. Then the person receiving the name is better able to utilize those traits in his or her life.
