Since history began, the Chinese always believed in the significance of one's name. They have developed a very comprehensive system of naming one's children as it is believed that the name of a person strongly influences one's destiny and fate. Astrologers, fortune tellers, academics and monks are consulted when choosing a name for the new born. Most other cultures, however do not really believe in it and tend to brush it off as superstition. Whether you believe it or not, however, the other cultures are not spared of this correlation.
One very good example is Lee Iacocca, whose name IACOCCA stood for :
I Am Chairman Of Chrysler Corporation America
coincidence?..........
Look at the following familiar examples.
Bush stands for
Beat Up Saddam Hussein
Clinton stands for :
Call Lewinsky, I Need The Oral Now
However, no one can beat this latest casualty in bad naming
Osama stands for :
Oh Shit, American Missiles Again!
With all these, you best believe in the 5000 year old Chinese culture and make sure you choose a good name for your children. |
