The origin of our name
There are a lot of secrets in our name. It's important to understand exactly how a name affects our personality.
The first thing to know is who named you. Dad, mom, grandmother, sister or other relative? Whoever calls you takes power over your name. What was the reason they chose this name?
When you were a kid, did you like your name or did you want to be known differently? Children have a special intuition and emancipation that allows them to reject things that litter them.
If you're a family member, it's important to review your life's direction and the paths you've already taken, because we often follow someone else's path. If you're named after a dead sister, you'll subconsciously carry the burden of her fate for the rest of your life.
If you're named after someone who was significant to the namer, you're subconsciously expected to be able to give what that person couldn't.
If your name is the name of a historical character, deep down you will be afraid of not meeting expectations and repeating a successful scenario.
If a woman's name coincides with a male one (Alexander-Alexandra, Valeria-Valeria), this often reflects the parents' desire to have a child of the opposite sex.
What should you name your children?
Alejandro Jodorowsky explains that each of us already has a name before we conceive.
