Sharon Lynn Wyeth's "Know the Name Know the Person: How a Name Can Predict Thoughts, Feelings and Actions" is a textbook of Niemology Science, a field she discovered after years of observation and research. She identifies patterns and sequences and essentially applies mathematics to describe a method of analyzing names to associate the name with the personality traits of the person named.

Studying the placement of letters in a name and relationships between and among the letters, she breaks down names and produces a great deal of information about the personality of the person, with suggestions on how others can best deal with the person, and how the person can best deal with their traits. She explains that "the letters indicate the person's inclination to think, behave, and respond in a certain way." She further explains how experience and education affect the traits revealed in the letters, accounting for some apparent contradictions.

A natural teacher, the author details an eight-step method of analysis, provides useful mnemonics to remember details, gives many examples with specific names, and explains several applications of Niemology Science in various settings. Some readers may be skeptical, but a lot of this sure seems spot on. Keep an open mind.

Want to find out what influence your name has on you? I strangely loved this book... it seems to reveal something that we all intuitively believe... that names can influence personality. Couple this with the research and discovery done by Priscilla Dunstan on universal baby sounds/cries and this could be true, at the core of language.

The book argues that certain letters or sounds in a name dictate personality. The most influential letter is the first vowel of the first name, and then the first consonant. According to this theory, the most frequent readers or users of this website would be those with the first vowel of A.

Well, I am Jason... so maybe she's right. You will love this...even if just for entertainment purposes when you meet people or to share at a party, or for choosing a baby name.
