An instant classic in the fields of both personality analysis and baby naming, The Secret Universe of Names is a book to give, to amuse and educate, to speculate about, and to keep forever.
Which names are the sexiest? The most powerful? How does your name or your child’s name determine destiny? Why are people whose names begin with the letter ‘J’ 250% more likely to become millionaires than people whose names begin with the letter ‘N’? Why are ‘I’ people becoming doctors at four times the rate of ‘O’ people? Why do the Keiths of the business world statistically out-perform the Nigels by almost 300%?
The Secret Universe of Names explains, in fascinating detail and name-by-name example, how the sounds of a specific name evoke basic, gut reactions and what this means for you and yours.

The first thing you’ll do upon picking up this book is turn to your name — in my case, “MTH” names (for Matthew). I read through my description and it was seriously dead on. Intrigued, I looked up my sister Katherine (“KTH” names), and it was again virtually 100% accurate. So I looked up my ex-girlfriend’s name, and I was floored as I read an amazing page-long description — as though the authors had followed her around and wrote about her temperament and beliefs.
I highly recommend you check it out… Don’t know if there’s any science to it, but it is definitely interesting. You will get a kick out of it!

As someone who loves language, this book hooked me. The idea that sounds influences our emotions was really well explored by the author in an interesting and accessible way. The analysis of all my family’s names was almost always spot on, and even when not was good grist for conversation. I highly recommend this book. Five stockings to fill. Five books.

It shows the power of influence that sounds have. This viewpoint of names and how they contribute to a person has been quite astounding. Thinking twice about which name to choose is the lesson I learned. Intriguing.

I was skeptical when I heard about this book and the next time I stopped at Borders I hunted it down and read it.
Just as everyone has said — each name description was dead on. I couldn’t believe it as I turned to the names of different people I knew and read about their personalities written right there on the page as if the author had known them. I was so thrilled that I went home and bought the book online (its cheaper on Amazon.com than it is in the store, btw, so don’t waste your cash — get it half price!)
And now I can’t help but look up a person’s name everytime I meet someone knew and see, as I get to know them, if the book is right. It seems so far that our names and the sounds they make really make us who we are.
In psychology it’s common knowledge that people act the way they think people expect them to. Therefore, if you keep telling your children that they’re bad, they will continue to act bad because that’s what they think you expect of them and vice versa. This book will make you think twice about what you want to name your children!

After enjoying looking up myself, family, and friends, I took it to work, and my friends seemed to enjoy the book even more! One disappointment is that there were a few common names that weren’t in there, like Lupe. Working in Labor & Delivery, I’ve had several patients who were thrilled to look at this book as they made last minute decisions on their baby names. Good book for finding out more about what your name can mean for your personality, as well as others. Some of the descriptions are shockingly accurate.
