gridlore1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed?
Same one.
2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be?
I wouldn't want to. I have a perfectly functional name, with a lot of history to it.
3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?)
Boys in the Berry family are all have Douglas somewhere in their names. My middle name, Edward, comes from both my grandfathers.
4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why?
"Timmy" Timothy, or Tim, are good names. Timmy just grates on me. For similar reasons, I hate being called Dougie.
5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com accurate? How or how isn't it?
Let's see:
The name of Douglas gives you a very individual, reserved, serious nature. You stick stubbornly to your ideas or decisions, in spite of any appeals or advice; you are not willing to accept a compromise. You prefer to be alone with your own thoughts, rather than in the company of others. This name restricts spontaneity in association and the fluency of your verbal expression. When you are required to express yourself in personal matters requiring finesse and diplomacy, you feel awkward and embarrassed. Although you realize perfectly well what is expected of you, you are unable to find the right words, and hence you end up saying something inappropriate in a candid way. You can express your deeper thoughts and feelings best through writing. Your friendships and personal associations are rather restricted, being limited to those of a similar nature who can understand and accept your rather straightforward yet reserved manner. You are steadfast and loyal, and do not allow gossip or anything belittling to be said against those whom you accept in friendship. You find satisfaction in being outdoors or in getting out into nature, or in dealing with the products of the earth. There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines.
I don't think anyone would argue that I can be reserved and rather stubborn. However, I do not have trouble handling verbal communications on personal matters. I may not pronounce everything correctly, but the words are there! I am very loyal, and enjoy bering outdoors. I like to think of myself as a practical thinker, but math?
So it's right in some places, and wrong in others. All in all, I'd say interesting.
There's also a health analysis, but it seems to be down.
Same one.
