The name of (my name witheld :P) gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood.
Pretty accurate....they left out paranoid tho ^_^/ altho I guess its sorta covered.

Your first name of Sully has given you the vision and foresight to be able to organize others and to hold positions of responsibilities with poise and self-confidence. This name creates an optimistic outlook on life and favourable conditions in your personal affairs. You have the ability to express your thoughts and ideas, and you are friendly, likeable, and generous.

Your first name of Salvatore creates a dual nature for you desire to systematize your life to progress step by step, but so frequently, you are taken into new experiences, instability, and change. You are intrigued by a challenge, especially in mechanical and technical fields. Scientific concepts appeal to you. You like activities that require physical effort as well as mental ingenuity. Your questioning, critical, practical nature makes you prove all ideas to your own satisfaction, rarely accepting anyone's word or ideas
...There are a lot of big words in those paragraphs... I don't even understand half of 'em... ;)
Honestly, neither one of them sounds like me...

Apart from the "it takes you time to learn" bit, it's eerily accurate.
The name of Benjamin creates a quick, analytical, and clever mind; you are creative, versatile, original, and independent. You have large ambitions, and it is difficult for you to be tolerant and understanding of those who desire less in life or who are more slow and methodical by nature. Patience is not your forte. You do, however, have leadership ability and would never be happy in a subservient position. You are ambitious and aggressive by nature. You would be happiest in positions where you are free to express individually and creatively and where opportunities are not restricted; you desire freedom, and do not tolerate being possessed by others. You appreciate change and travel, and the opportunity to meet and mix with others, and to influence them with your creative ideas.
Sounds like me.. Maybe this kind of stuff isn't a load of crap after all.
I cant believe it had my name... It really is rare in this area. this not be too accurate in my case. Or is it?
I am a wise and exalted flimsy piece of wood.

Your name of Harison is a dual influence: at times you can be extremely happy, expressive, full of fun, and good-natured; yet at other times you find congenial association impossible, being controlled by self-pity, moods, and depression. If you could express only the constructive qualities and restrain the negative qualities of your nature, you would always be good company. These contrasting qualities make it difficult for people to understand you and can lead to friction in your personal life. You are deep, philosophical, and refined, but your extremely sensitive nature causes you to become depressed over any real or imagined slight.
My real name is Harrison, but thats because my parents are damn pot smokin hippies. Its pretty acurate anyway excpet for the... No, its all right.
The first name of Neil creates a dual nature for, on the one hand, you desire change and varied experiences in order to avoid monotony, and yet you are attuned to system, order, and attention to detail. You can be very analytical, exacting, and patient in your undertakings until your interest is exhausted, at which time you switch to something else even though it means leaving your undertakings unfinished.
That is so frickin' dead on.

Your name Rob gives you a strong sense of responsibility in business and material affairs, and the practicality and determination to make a success of anything you undertake. Your ability to organize and direct the efforts of others enables you to excel in any managerial position because you have the ability to grasp the concept of a goal complete with an understanding of the steps to be taken. This name has allowed you to develop depth and breadth of mind. You are able to retain facts, to grasp new information to your existing store of knowledge.

Your first name of Jesse has made you a hard worker with a meticulous sense of detail. You have a great deal of patience and independence, and you can be relied upon to complete your undertakings. You could be inventive along scientific or practical lines. You are stable, trustworthy, homeloving, and logical in practical matters, but rather unresponsive to suggestions from others. You resist change
Very accurate.
My other cat:
Quote
The name of Jack gives you a very individual, reserved, serious nature. You prefer to be alone with your own thoughts, rather than in the company of others. This name restricts spontaneity in association and the fluency of your verbal expression. When you are required to express yourself in personal matters requiring finesse and diplomacy, you feel awkward and embarrassed. Although you realize perfectly well what is expected of you, you are unable to find the right words, and hence you end up saying something inappropriate in a candid way. You can express your deeper thoughts and feelings best through writing
Very inaccurate
And me:
Quote
Your name of Robert gives you the desire to understand and help others with their problems but, at the same time, you can become too involved in their problems and, as a result, worry too much. This name creates a pleasant, easy-going, yet responsible nature. It gives you a natural ability to express affection to those close to you, without feelings of embarrassment. You tend to avoid issues, however, and put off until tomorrow the things which should be done today. Accordingly, you would find difficulty in achieving success in positions requiring aggressiveness and drive
So accurate it's scary. As though the person came to my house, and interviewed me.
QuoteYour name of Shawn gives you the ability to be creative along practical lines of endeavour. Your ideas can be very original and inventive. You enjoy being with people in a social environment. Your personal appearance is important to you, for you desire to make a good impression on others. Your pleasant manner attracts people to you with their problems and you are capable of offering practical advice, though you would probably not follow such advice yourself. This name causes you to be somewhat too concerned with the personalities, problems, and activities of other people.

Oh and could the people posting just results post if they are close or not....just posting the result doesn't really say anything. :P
Your name of Michael gives you a clever mind, good business judgment, a sense of responsibility, and an appreciation of the finer things of life. You are serious-minded and not inclined to make light of things even in little ways, and in your younger years you had more mature interests than others your age. Home and family mean a great deal to you and it is natural that you should desire the security of a peaceful, settled home environment where you can enjoy the companionship of family and friends. Whatever you set out to accomplish you do your very best to complete in accordance with what you consider to be right.
Umm.. fairly inaccurate. It would be dead on if it said instead that I tend to take few things absolutely seriously and the family bit is so-so.
Ran Mike through... it's horribly inaccurate, despite the fact that it's what most people call me. Tried some Michael variations as well with no better results. I'm just cut from an odd mould, I suppose.
Heh, y'all realize how generic all these descriptions are? It's like horoscopes...
If you have a second name or a nickname, run that through also. :P Kind of a composite. Or maybe just whatever you're usually called.
Not that I'm saying that its always perfectly right, but seems its close in many cases...and the descriptions its giving out aren't exactly generically worded. ;)
What's yours redwall?
Redwall, not really. The name descriptions are actually accurate.
Horoscope - "You're going to get killed today."
Name description - "The name (name) suggests that a coked-up truck driver with too many days of irritations and psychotic thoughts will suddenly snap when he sees the blinding shininess of your yellow Volkswagon Beetle and plows headfirst into the, again, shiny chrome of your front bumper. After he sends your car flying into a gathering of elderly women, he quickly heads back over to your car, and runs you over. He then lights up some Marijuana to celebrate, and ends up blowing up both of you in a colorful blast of fire and shrapnel. You are also a good, kind, caring person who listens to whatever problems family, friends, or any bystander has."
Actually, I read a book on various psycological things, and in one chapter they talked about how blind-readings from psychics(where they obtain no previous information on the person) use phrases that, although somewhat vague, are specific enough to be believed. Even being that specific, they tend to apply to a large majority of human conditions.
This site probably uses a similar method.
And most people found something that they didn't agree with, anyway.
So it's not scientific or anything, but it's still a good trick.
Bring on the sceptics. :D I notice you people aren't posting your results. Post them. ^_^

I don't really think this one did me much justice. Materialistic and unartistic, really? Tactless, patient, and positive? Hmm.
I think astrology matches me better, because I am a pretty dead-on Sagittarius. http://www.astrology-online.com/sagittar.htm
Haha, my sign calls me tactless as well.
PS- I thought this was funny: http://www.kabalarians.com//Male/jessdogg.htm
Chris was really surprisingly accurate (with one exception), but Christopher was just about the polar opposite, so I'm not sure what the fuck that means. Maybe I'm schizophrenic or something.
I know one theory is that the sound of your name shapes you, so maybe whatever you're called usually would be the most accurate. That's what I used for mine...
Oh yeah, here's what it says on the site:
Which has more influence, my legal name or a nickname?
Both will have an influence, but the original name is the underlying blueprint. Sometimes, one name is used at home, and the other at work. In these cases, the person will behave and think differently in each environment according to the names used.
yada yada marketing etc here
As Tom, you have a natural interest in the welfare of your fellow man, and a desire to help and serve others in a humanitarian way. You are responsible and generous, although somewhat scattering and disorganized at times. Any jobs requiring systematic and conscientious effort, or involving any form of drudgery, dismay you. In your work, you would seek a position offering self-expression through contact with people, such as sales or teaching, or a position giving scope to your creative, artistic talents. You are good-natured and likeable, and people tend to confide in you and seek your advice in personal problems. Others sense your sincere interest and desire to help, and you can always be counted on to see the bright side of any problem.
Well... my exact name in english was not there, but the name is not of english origin. The two variations of my name seem completely different.
Your name of Baber gives you self-assurance, independence, and confidence. You have depth of mind and the ability to concentrate and to follow a line of thought to a logical conclusion. Your love of challenging the concepts of others invariably leads you to create your own ideas and to pioneer new lines of thought. Your strong characteristic of individuality qualifies you as a leader. You must be independent and you do not brook interference in any way. Although you do not tolerate interference in your own affairs, this characteristic does not prevent you from interfering in the affairs of others.
The name of Baabar has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. You sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at your thoughts and wonder about their origin. You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control.
I think I am more like the second description though...
QuoteThe first name of Arvid creates an intense personal nature. Your feelings and emotional desires are strong and consequently you are an individual, determined, strong-willed person. Your creative nature and ambition drive you to pursue success to the extent that you jeopardize your personal well-being. There is a tendency for you to dominate others. You are too certain of yourself, and you are not open to the views of others or responsive to their desires or needs. Also, this name does not incorporate qualities that enable you to be diplomatic and to compromise.
Me, ambitious?
Evidently, Annie has the coolest name in the world:

(long)
Quoteyou have a great love of nature and the out-of-doors, and could have a desire to be in an occupation which takes you outdoors and involves you with the products of the earth. All the finer things of life and beauties of nature are an inspiration to you and you are attracted to the mysteries of nature. Difficulty in expression results in your being too positive, blunt, and candid in speech. Although you are easily offended by others, you do not show it. You crave affection and understanding, but rarely find it as others do not understand you and accuse you of being cool and aloof.
I. Think. Not.

(short, the one I use most often)
QuoteYour name has given you an idealistic nature with a desire to help others. Your initiative often causes you to be the first to act when you see a need. Since you are impressionable and receptive, you feel the misfortunes of others very keenly. However, this name makes it awkward for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings with finesse and diplomacy to the extent that your candid, sometimes blunt, manner of speaking creates misunderstandings with others. Being somewhat self-centred, you learn through your own experiences, as you rarely take advice from others. Yet, you are sensitive and very easily hurt and offended. You long for praise and appreciation for your efforts, but others find it difficult to understand you.
Well at first I was entirely satisfied with the conception that I'm sensitive to other's problems, and that I had the excuse of phrasing things badly and thus creating misunderstandings with others to explain how hateful I can often be; then, I slapped myself across the face and realised that, no, I'm actually just a complete and utter cunt.
Quite clever how they say things that they know people would

Yes. As always, flattering words are your personal guarantee of a speaker's honesty. ::)

Brief summary of your name
Your first name of Domagoj has given you a pleasant, easy-going, friendly nature 8). Personal contacts are important to you. In situations where you are serving others, demonstrating or instructing, you have the patience to go into details that someone else may not think to be important. In your association with others, you are often limited to the more mundane happenings and little personal problems that can be so frustrating to those of an active, dynamic nature :P. You desire to create system and order in your environment but are inclined to become side-tracked and socialize when you should be working . Your ambitions are not large, as you lack confidence in your own abilities and would sooner not take a chance. ???
That's a goddamn lie! LIE I TELL YOU!

Mine:
As Ciro, you are entitled to rule the world, and you will find any means to make it.
Ha, only a joke, this is the real one: :)
Brief summary of your name
Quote
Your name of Ciro has created a most expressive nature, idealistic and inspirational, driven with a strong inner urge to be of service in some way that would uplift humanity as a whole. However, there is a tendency to assume too heavy a burden of responsibility for others, which leads to worry and undue concern. People with problems are drawn to you as they recognize you as one who has understanding and gives not only sympathy and comfort but provides also some constructive advice or assistance. You have a generous quality to your nature, but you must guard carefully against giving more than you receive or you will find yourself doing without because you have helped someone else.
Mmmm. That's quite true, to say the least :P

Unhhh....so I'd LIKE to hear that I have a lack of confidence....how does that work :p It didn't tell AGA that, and he has no shortage of confidence. :P
Although most of the things they say are positive, at least they are specific enough to not apply to everyone.
/me smacks pudding a bit for only posting his result
QuoteYour first name of Andreas has created a deep, sensitive, refined nature with an intelligent mind and a keen appreciation of material values. You enjoy all the finer things in life that a good standard of living allows. You have good business judgment and would do well in a managerial position, as you have executive ability. You work best in an independent capacity, where you are able to think problems out carefully before you act. Your sensitivity and reserve prevent people from coming close in friendship. There is always an aloofness and reserve that acts as a barrier and prevents any close ties.
Well, I don't know about the refined and intelligent mind, and the good business judgment bit is probably not true (can't say I've ever been in a managerial position, so who knows?), but the rest looks pretty good.
And now for the closest name to my nickname I could find:
QuoteThe name of Ghorghor creates a happy, versatile, and expressive nature, with good business judgment and a fine sense of responsibility, which should enable you to establish congenial relationships in positions of trust where you are dealing with the public. You have a clever, quick mind, with the ability to accomplish a great deal in a short period of time, although it is not easy for you to systematize your efforts. This name could allow expression along musical and artistic lines and gives you the desire to entertain and to meet and mix with people of refinement and culture.
It's funny, because I use my nickname for anything musical and "artistic" I create.
This is good for acting as a name generator.
Hee hee, 'Phalec' (phallic).
Here's my definition.
"Your name of Phillip has given you an idealistic nature with a desire to help others. Your initiative often causes you to be the first to act when you see a need. Since you are impressionable and receptive, you feel the misfortunes of others very keenly. However, this name makes it awkward for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings with finesse and diplomacy to the extent that your candid, sometimes blunt, manner of speaking creates misunderstandings with others. Being somewhat self-centred, you learn through your own experiences, as you rarely take advice from others. Yet, you are sensitive and very easily hurt and offended. You long for praise and appreciation for your efforts, but others find it difficult to understand you."
Very scary. It's actually the other way around on the bit I highlighted, speaking rather too eloquently and being excessively lyrically inventive, to the point that some people just shrug, but the rest is pretty much spot on.
Heh, I find lots of good matches from other people's names but only half of my name's description was kind of like me.
I don't know, I can't prove or disprove this. I'll just say that I personally think the described qualities are quite generic human traits. I can find something spot on from practically all descriptions here. I just basically read all of the descriptions as if they were for my name and most of them were a lot more accurate than mine - some even completely correct. You could get this kind of results with guessing. Making the guesses generic makes the odds a lot better, almost as if they weren't just guesses. Or something like that.
Anyway, it seems pretty commercial to me. Name reports, baby naming, name changes, courses, books, audio tapes and cycle charts. Prices from $10 to $375.
OK, here's what it said:
"The name incorporates a potential aptitude for concentration and patient, logical thought along mechanical or scientific lines. You tend to prefer to follow normal routine rather than cope with the disruption and uncertainty entailed in trying something new. You gravitate to situations where you have stability and the opportunity to make slow step-by-step progress, preferably in a technical field. Procrastination and lack of self-confidence may restrict your success."
About "logical thought along mechanical or scientific lines." It is true, I tend to think logically, perhaps more often than my peers - but the text only refers to potential. Doesn't everyone hold the potential for logical thought? However, I'm not really interested in figuring out scientific facts or matters related to mechanics (if that's even what the text means). I'm actually more interested in figuring out why people do certain things etc. The way I see it, the text was 50 percent correct. The first guess was right, the second wasn't.
If the text referred to mechanical as logic that isn't flexible or creative or something like that... Well, then I have no idea what they meant. I mean, the way I see it, logic is pretty definite.
"You tend to prefer to follow normal routine rather than cope with the disruption and uncertainty entailed in trying something new." Actually, lately I've started to question the normal routines. The way people want to live a "normal life", getting a house, settling down and so on. I don't want to elaborate on that, but as I'm trying to find an alternative way to live my life, probably move to another country or something like that, I don't think it qualifies for following a normal routine. So I think this is a very long shot. If it wasn't, I don't think they would put 'logic' and "normal routine" in the same paragraph.
Finally, about the "Procrastination and lack of self-confidence may restrict your success." In general: wouldn't those matters restrict anyone's success? Note the word: "may". On procrastination: In fact, I asked my friend yesterday why her parents wait until they get retired before they move to France. Why not do it right now when they're still umm... somewhat young? I apply the same logic on my own actions. On self-confidence: If I didn't believe in myself, would I know how to draw, even the little I can? Probably not. Would I know how to play drums the way I do - probably not. On the other hand, if this means lack of self-confidence when encountering other people, or a frightening situation - no luck there. But that's just my word. I don't know how I could exemplify that.
All this in mind, I think this uh, thingabob is fun. But that's all there is for me. And even the fun stops when you start paying for it. If anyone thinks I'm wrong, it's alright. Just give me your reasons and hopefully you'll prove me wrong. And I'd just like to say that as always, I mean no harm to anyone by this post. This was not directed at anyone especially, this is just my opinion which hopefully will be proved wrong. If anyone feels that Kabalarian Philosophy is correct - your opinion is as good as mine.
Here's mine: Your first name of Grant creates a serious, thoughtful nature, shrewd, efficient, and business-minded. You are one to make your own decisions, and not be influenced by others. You desire independence and freedom from the authority and interference of others. You are not overly ambitious, preferring instead just to seek stable, settled conditions which are adequate to meet your responsibilities. You like to be your own boss and you capable handle responsibilities for others.
Yes, it is accurate to a point, except I'm ambitious.
I'm sure if someone took the time to compare these, they would find a lot of different wording for the same traits repeated over and over. It seems to me just a random assortment of traits probably in groups that go together, so they can take a random couple of groups, take a few traits from them, word them cleverly, and wa-lah, a seemingly specific description that still applies to the majority of people. As pessi said, if you read every one of these as your own, you'd probably find a lot are very accurate.
As for my comment about horoscopes: perhaps I should have said "the zodiac". I meant that people born in March are athletic, etc. Yeah, perhaps most people born in March are athletic, but that's because most people in general are athletic. The same applies here. Most of these traits could apply to anyone.

:) I posted it merely as a bit of fun, I don't think its possible to exactly prove it right or wrong, especially since each of us has an opinion of ourselves that may or may not match other people's opinion of us.
Its quite funny that people feel the need to 'disprove' it. I'm not marketing thier services or claiming its the absolute truth. ^_^ (http://www.esotericmango.com/art/smileys/rollinbox.gif)
In case anyone wants a label, its called Acrophonology and it may very well be a pseudoscience, but its still fun.
(http://www.esotericmango.com/art/smileys/protest.gif)
Heh, it doesn't seem like people are "feeling the need to disprove it" to me. Pessi merely stated that he doesn't think it works. He didn't try to prove anything, and neither has anyone else. :P
Me? I'm neutral, as always. My name's description is quite accurate, but at the same time I have a hard time thinking every damn Andreas out there is just like that. Neither side has enough proof to convince me.
/me shrugs
Yeah, you've got a point, Annie. That's actually the reason I added the disclaimer in the end. I just wanted to let you know that I was just kind of thinking aloud. I was not trying to tell anyone they're wrong or right, just trying to figure it out. And one of the best ways to figure something out is by being proved wrong. I was kind of expecting that but I forgot this wasn't one of those debate threads. Sorry about that. :-[
The reason I wrote another long post was that lots of people were wondering how much this thing holds true and so on. I just thought I'd add my 2 cents or so, and well... If it wasn't for touch typing I would make shorter posts and keep it sincere as everyone else.
Anyway, mind if I join the demonstration?

I didn't mean you Pessi. :) I just meant in general, people seem resistant to things that aren't 100% provable. I just like to think we don't know it all, not that we should blindly believe everything but not claim we know everything for fact either. Like you, I was also thinking out loud.
Sorry if it came across as an attack on you or anyone specific. :)
The name of Aleksandar (that's me) creates an extravagant, ambitious nature with the desire for financial prominence. You desire the best in life and appreciate quality in all things. This name has made you rather aggressive, shrewd, and critical and has caused you to be extremely independent. You have the analysis, vision, and promotional ability to make progress. You could achieve heights of success in business, but there is also a factor which brings many forced changes and friction with people, which in turn offsets the success you could achieve.
QuoteI just meant in general, people seem resistant to things that aren't 100% provable. I just like to think we don't know it all, not that we should blindly believe everything but not claim we know everything for fact either.
I absolutely agree with that sentiment, but it only applies to things that are genuinely inexplicable. This isn't the case here - for anyone who's ever heard of the technique of 'cold-calling', this is one of the most blatant and direct examples you will ever come across. I think it's fair that people point that out - I'd certainly want to know if something I believed was mystical turned out to be a simple trick.

Your name of Alex gives you . . . blah, blah, etc. . . .
Mine was exactly the same. We'll have to start a cult of people whose names give them our exact-same personality! Woo-hoo! ::)
Your first name of Nicholas has given you a clever, deep mind and the talent to excel in highly inspirational lines of endeavour as a dramatist, musician, writer, or artist. You can be lifted by beauty in all forms and you are at the most creative when inspired. Your expressive, affectionate nature responds very quickly through your feelings, but you must guard against being possessive and jealous. You feel and sense much that you do not fully understand and cannot express. Your delight in mystery could draw you into occult studies or religions.
All I have to say is holy crap.
Petteri as a first name gives you a very independent nature, yet you are friendly, approachable, and generous. You can be a spontaneous, expressive, and talkative person. Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be rather blunt and sarcastic. This name incorporates creative, artistic, and musical abilities, and there would be an element of originality in all that you do. You like to do things on the spur of the moment without planning or prior arrangements. Your spirits are buoyed up greatly by encouragement and appreciation.
Pretty accurate I might say!
The name of Timothy has made you serious-minded, responsible, and stable. You love the security of a home and family, you are fond of children, and, as a parent you would be fair and understanding. Although you have good business judgment, you are not aggressive in your dealings because you do not like to create issues. You would be successful in any position dealing with the public as you have a diplomatic and tactful manner and possess a charming, easy-going nature which puts people at ease. People are drawn to you because they feel that you are patient, kind, understanding, and responsive.
It's accurate in some areas and not others, therefore exactly what I expected, just like peoples star signs and shite like that, you will always find some part of it that relates to you. (If I had more self confidence it would be much more accurate)
But the description for my name seems quite positive and if I could live up to the description, I wouldn't complain, but nobody's that perfect.
Your name of Matthew has created a most expressive nature, idealistic and inspirational, driven with a strong inner urge to be of service in some way that would uplift humanity as a whole. However, there is a tendency to assume too heavy a burden of responsibility for others, which leads to worry and undue concern. People with problems are drawn to you as they recognize you as one who has understanding and gives not only sympathy and comfort but provides also some constructive advice or assistance. You have a generous quality to your nature, but you must guard carefully against giving more than you receive or you will find yourself doing without because you have helped someone else.
For the most part, accurate.
As Tralfaz, you are spontaneous, happy-go-lucky, and you enjoy the company of others--the more the merrier. You make friends easily as people are attracted to your warm and generous nature. However, you have to watch that others do not take advantage of your generosity, for you are apt to be influenced by hard-luck stories and give when it might be more prudent not to. You are ever on the watch for ways and means of making some "easy money" because this name spoils initiative and ambition, producing an easy-going, come-what-may nature which attaches value to money only for the self-enjoyment it can offer.
But as for my, cat, this is way off, he's a total dick

Thanks Thinking Girl, you allways find a way for me to post without much thinking, not to mention how much my post figures could improve with all these quizzes and shanagins.
Your first name of David has given you a very practical, hard-working, systematic nature. Your interests are focused on technical, mechanical, and scientific things, rather than interests of an artistic, musical, or social nature. You tend to be skeptical outlook on life and rather materialistic standards. In reaching your goals, you are very independent and resourceful, patient and determined. You can be so very positive and definite in your own ideas and opinions that others sense a lack of tact and friendliness in your manner of expression.
Ehm... No. For everything that's holy: No. I love everything that is artistic, muscial or similar and I'm absolutely not practical... I don't trust this thing at all... :)
mine's the same as earlwood. (we have the same first name)

That's what it said for scotch too. ::) I wouldn't throw any money at these people if I was him. ;D
The first name of ******** creates an intense personal nature. Your feelings and emotional desires are strong and consequently you are an individual, determined, strong-willed person. Your creative nature and ambition drive you to pursue success to the extent that you jeopardize your personal well-being. There is a tendency for you to dominate others. You are too certain of yourself, and you are not open to the views of others or responsive to their desires or needs. Also, this name does not incorporate qualities that enable you to be diplomatic and to compromise.
.....well, I dont think it sounds much like me in real life. Hell, the Literal translation of my name means: From The Farm Land
"you jeopardize your personal well-being"
Not you, eh? ;)
Lol cleks, we got the same.
Well.. I have two names, so...

Your name of Ragnar makes you quick-minded, versatile, and very expressive. You are adaptable and creative in responding to new situations. This name has given you an interest in people and a desire for new experiences. You have the ability to create a favourable first impression, and so you could do well in the fields of sales promotion or entertainment. The use of this name creates a lack of stability in your affairs as you are inclined to procrastinate or to be too impulsive in your decision making.

The name of Benjamin creates a quick, analytical, and clever mind; you are creative, versatile, original, and independent. You have large ambitions, and it is difficult for you to be tolerant and understanding of those who desire less in life or who are more slow and methodical by nature. Patience is not your forte. You do, however, have leadership ability and would never be happy in a subservient position. You are ambitious and aggressive by nature. You would be happiest in positions where you are free to express individually and creatively and where opportunities are not restricted; you desire freedom, and do not tolerate being possessed by others. You appreciate change and travel, and the opportunity to meet and mix with others, and to influence them with your creative ideas.
Sounds like me.. Maybe this kind of stuff isn't a load of crap after all.
Heh, mines already done... :P
Awesome!

The name of Rusalka creates a very versatile and creative nature. You are quick-minded and have the freedom of expression to mix easily with people.
Woo!
QuoteBecause your feelings and desires are so changeable, you are never satisfied with conditions as they are. You have many ideas, plans, and ambitions,
This is so true!!! Although I call it, "Obsessive". Oh, and dude... the Skirts Issue!
Quotebut too often they are for an easy way out of a difficulty or an easy way of making money.
Two Words. Beyond. Reality.
QuoteYou seek change in order to have the opportunity for travel, new experiences, and new friends and associates. You find it difficult to systematize your efforts and to fulfil your obligations and plans as you are not inclined to apply yourself consistently to a job to reach your goals.
I think this is right, I mean I'm pretty set on moving to San Fran by any means and I can't wait for college/travel/etc. I couldn't understand the last line because it uses lots of long words that I don't understand, but I assume it is right.
QuoteAlthough you appear positive, you inwardly lack self-confidence and will-power.
Lies! LIES!!! :(
