By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself".
William Shakespeare, "Romeo and Juliet", Act II, Scene II
I have often contemplated the metaphysical meaning of names, and I resolutely stand by the concept that not only do our names shape part of other people's impression of us and reaction towards us, but I firmly believe our own impression of our names forms a major part of how we present ourselves to the world ....
The fact that I usually think about the multitudes of possibilities this world is built on is not a secret. I am a long time fan of chaos theory and it is the absolute randomness of events that I consider as the most appealing feature of life and one of the few reasons to enjoy living!
Quick example to clarify my point: I spent the most amazing 30 hours of my life thanks to random events that could never have happened by immaculate conception or planned design .... (1) trip to Greece is canceled at the last minute because of work demands, (2) being high season for let's-get-the-fuck-out-of-here-and-go-ANYWHERE-with-sun travel in the northern country where I live meant that I had no option but to go to Barcelona [great city by the way and I strongly recommend it to everyone! ... leave me a comment if you need tips or recommendations], (3) I do something completely against my nature and let myself be persuaded by a friend to go to a gay sauna, (4) at the same time my gorgeous South American heartthrob hails from his Equatorial country on a 4-day mission to Spain and coincidentally decides to make his virginal trip to a gay sauna at the same time that I do .... what follows is a story of us overcoming the language barriers [he doesn't speak English, so we had to rely on my poor Spanish] and have the best 30 hours in both our lives [so far!].
Anyway, applying the concept of randomness to our names, I sometimes wonder how different I would have turned out to be and my life would have been if I had a different name.
But more cynically, how different would the following result had been if I had chosen to drop my grand-father's name and went with the name I usually use .... you see, someone sent me this link and I decided to check it out since I didn't have anything better to do this lovely Saturday night [was supposed to go out with a guy I like and been out on a couple of dates with, and was planning to take it to the next step tonight until he texted me- not even called- saying he was feeling ill!] .... I just want to say that I was baffled at how accurate the description is of me!

The expression or destiny for #7:
Thought, analysis, introspection, and seclusiveness are all characteristics of the expression number 7. The hallmark of the number 7 is a good mind, and especially good at searching out and finding the truth. You are so very capable of analyzing, judging and discriminating, that very little ever escapes your observation and deep understanding. You are the type of person that can really get involved in a search for wisdom or hidden truths, often becoming an authority on whatever it is your are focusing on. This can easily be of a technical or scientific nature, or it may be religious or occult, it matters very little, you pursue knowledge with the same sort of vigor. You can make a very fine teacher, or because of a natural inclination toward the spiritual, you may become deeply emerged in religious affairs or even psychic explorations. You tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and many of your friends may not really know you very well. The positive aspects of the 7 expression are that you can be a true perfectionist in a very positive sense of the word. You are very logical, and usually employ a quite rational approach to most things you do. You can be so rational at times that you almost seem to lack emotion, and when you are faced with an emotional situation, you may have a bit of a problem coping with it. You have excellent capabilities to study and learn really deep and difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals. At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual.
If there is an over supply of the number 7 in your makeup, the negative aspects of the number may be apparent. The chief negative of 7 relates to the limited degree of trust that you may have in people. A tendency to be highly introverted can make you a bit on the self-centered side, certainly very much self-contained . Because of this, you are not very adaptable, and you may tend to be overly critical and intolerant. You really like to work alone, at your own pace and in your own way. You neither show or understand emotions very well.
