It's obvious...what our parents and what we decide to call ourselves, our children, our businesses, etc. is a rather weighty undertaking.
Nancy Friedman (7 inner trait, a born skeptic who loves her freedom-5) writes about the mysteries of names in her blog Away With Words...about how it's so important to pick just the RIGHT name. She's not alone. There's also a blog called Baby Name Wizard by Laura Wattenberg on IVilliage (ironically a freedom loving writer with a 5 inner trait - who aspires to the skeptical -7)...whose site talks about selecting the appropriate name for a little one.
Both these mainstream sites acknowlege the subtle and not so subtle influence of a name...so it's not such a leap of faith to consider the legitimacy of numerology either, in helping us determine which choices may be more successful than others.
Having a little knowledge of numerology under your belt can never hurt.
