Do you believe that people's names (I mean their real names) can also tell about their personality?

For example; do you think people named x usually have similar characteristics of personality?

I have tested it with people I know and it has usually worked if I know some other people with that name .

Here comes an example;

People named Erol are usually honest, humble, sociable and they usually like sharing, helping ,they are responsible people and they do well in their job no matter what their job is.
(Of course there are exceptions but usually they have these features )

What do you think ? Any example ? Have you ever tried ? Can you try now?

P.S : Only good features (or the ones which do not have any offensive meaning )are allowed with any name !

I didn't come my mind but when a name means elegant or gentle her name is Nazlı,Sinem,sevil maybe but my name is weird some like me hehe:D

Hocam,I am Burak so all the positive meanings cover this name :D

As I ve known you for a long time, I don t want to say anything but all good things in the world ,but let me guess about Nazlıs if you know anybody , check if it works;


Nazlıs are not easy people to get along with, they are really a bit NAZLI but usually not in a childish manner, let s say they are a bit capricious; They are friends for life if you can reach them , but if you can t, they will never know you , they are good inside and emotional enough but not like showing these blah blah .... :)

Does it work?

it's me Hocam,you are right
it is said that the people's names reflect their character I think it is certainly correct

For example Tarkan. I think this name is very artistic and highlight or hyperactive and warrior some:rolleyes:

whenever I hear Tarkan name,coming to my mind ''Atıl Kurt'' nothing more :D

my mom's name is Ayfer maybe that's why :)
This is a good clue for you:D:D

and you are also some hyperactive and some so calm as if you were depressed but not exactly

I just faked up:rolleyes:

whenever I hear Tarkan name,coming to my mind ''Atıl Kurt'' nothing more :D
But when you remember mega star Tarkan you can't think Atıl kurt :D:D

Ayfer Abla according to your criteria,, is megastar someone who can not relase an album approximately for five years...

Singers who are megastar,superstar...etc releasing albums once,twice a year :D:D

Tarkan is just an flying-baloon just for me,but undoubtedly I respect to you :D

I suppose this works a lot less with names in English, where the meanings of names are so hidden in the mists of history that not many people know (or care) what their name means.

I have known so many people whose names are just in the opposite way to their characters and qualities. However, I also have some examples to the point that you deal with. For instance, I had a student whose name was Nadir. I really "rarely" saw him:).

so funny is it Hocam :D

:D i know some french people :D marilyne mari :D generally their names start the letter 'm' i just say that they are very kind and humanist women

for example what Tom means in turkish I wonder much?have you any idea?

"Tom" (short for "Thomas") comes from the Aramaic language and means "twin".

In any language there are names which are beyond their literary meanings as they get their meanings from their owners. We all know that there are names given to people(sometimes considering their meanings sometimes regardless of what they mean but to name people ) and there are people giving names their meanings.:)

and i want to addict something to this subject. i know a woman whose name is sakine but she isn't calm she talks a lot and she is very active :D

and i want to addict something to this subject. i know a woman whose name is sakine but she isn't calm she talks a lot and she is very active :D

so lets call her,''dırdırcı sakine '' :D as most of women's second name ....

i know a woman whose name is sakine but she isn't calm she talks a lot and she is very active :D

And I used to know a very quiet, calm, steady, etc. young woman whose name was (and still is, I would guess) Eylem Top. I would call her "Action Ball" for fun.

I have a neighbor in my hometown; her name is Şemsiye. She hitherto could not help us protect ourselves from heavy rains.

PS: I know Şemsi (masculine) and Şemsiye (feminine), though. Just kidding.

Actually it depends on the culture and family. In some cultures, the name is the first prayer, first intention and general expectation for your baby. It shows what you want your baby to be. And a parent's desire can shape a kid's thought, feelings and personality.

For example I made up my kids' names considering a phrase in Quran: Amel-i salih. My daughter's name, Güleylem, means, to me:
Gül: Rose, symbolizes Muhammad (AS) in tasavvuf, represents beauty and romance in literature, means AŞK (love) in poetry. It also means "smile".
Eylem: Action and demonstration, means both doing ST and protesting ST.
Thus Güleylem means someone who does something good, who protests against something bad, and who does do both of these like a prophet: For love, romantically and beautifully, with a big smile on the face.

So can you say me please, isn't it possible that my desire and expectation may affect my kid's feelings, thought and personality at least to some extent?

Of course they can especially after naming your daughter considering so many things in one :)and what I mean is that in one way or another people with the same names share some similar characteristics of personality to some extend and as I haven t known anybody having such a beautiful name as your daughter does, I won t be able to say anything (but I m sure she will have all these features considering his father), on the other hand I can tell you something about Mehmets :)

You gotta hear my son's name, Yaremir, which also means Amel-i Salih. :)

As to Mehmet, my name must have picked under the excitement of Cyprus war. Of course it means Muhammad but also reminds Mehmetçik. Religional and national. I consider myself as Hakperver and vatanperver, so to some extent my name may have affected my feelings and the way I think. :) However, it is the most common male name in Turkey, which is followed by Ahmet, my father's name. :) I always like to look like someone in the crowd; it fits my situation too. :)
