Incoherent Scribblings

Few things are more important to a person than their name. Whether you like your name or not, it is the label given to you at birth and therefore can affect your personality as you grow up and become an individual.

As I have mentioned before, I have always had an affinity towards my first name. In addition to the hours I have spent researching what my name literally means and how to correctly spell it, I have also enjoyed those booths at the State Fair or the amusement park that decipher how your first name has influenced your personality for $1.00.

Thanks to Jennie, I recently discovered the PAK Dictionary of Names that does that very thing. And so, without further ado, here is how my name has affected my sense of self… (which, if I do say so myself, is pretty damned accurate!)

The first name of Renée leads you to assume considerable responsibility and to prefer to work independently, without direction or interference from others because you have very definite ideas of your own. Your mind is quick to comprehend and you can be depended upon to do any job well. Because you tend to be somewhat of a perfectionist, you might insist on doing too many things yourself instead of delegating jobs to others who might do less satisfactory work. This name does make you quite direct and straight-to-the-point. Your verbal expression usually does not reflect your inner thoughts and feelings, and you often wonder why people react to what you say the way they do. The influence of this name does not promote the friendship that you desire or the relaxation and naturalness you should enjoy with people. It is a name that makes you far too practical and serious-minded, and makes it difficult for you to act with spontaneity. You could suffer physically through head tension, with eye, teeth, or sinus problems, headaches, or mentally through worry.
