Names In The News
 | Obama vs. McCain - 03/13/2008 | Interestingly enough, at the core, these two men are quite similar. Both have an adept skill at being a diplomat... both have sensitive internal natures with a naturally empathetic leaning. While Obama wants to make his mark while gaining great praise and adulation, McCain is always striving for the perfectionist's path. Obama must take care not to people please in order to earn applause... and McCain may strive for the ideal but have trouble living it himself.
By way of their first names, the call to diplomacy continues. We can expect either one, if elected, to frequently get caught up in attempting to keep all interest groups happy at the same time. That said, through his full name, Obama has a very strong transformational quality present. He will do his best to make changes that will truly make a difference. McCain, through his full name will be called upon to give and give and give... perhaps to the point of burn-out.
There are some interesting factors present in the cycle forecasts for these men. McCain, if he were to become President, would take office in a 4 year. Many tests accompany a person's 4 year. Both Abraham Lincoln and James Garfield took office in a 4. (And former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer took office in a 4 year!) Obama, on the other hand would take office in a 5 year, a time that provides abundant energy for change. Boosted by his own progressive influences and his full name, this is an individual who could make far reaching changes for the country and world.
While you may not be running for President any time soon, it is important to have a strong full name signature to support your professional endeavors and financial interests. Determining if your middle name or initial is an asset or a hindrance is an important first step. Order a Name Attunement to discover your most beneficial full name option.

She is just one more celebrity to go public regarding issues with overdulgence, drug abuse, alcoholism and destructive behavior. The world mourned the loss of Heath Ledger, only to discover that his death was related to overuse of a variety of prescription medications. Britney Spears is struggling to keep her life in a healthy place... as are folks like Sean Young, Amy Winehouse, Mel Gibson, Lindsay Lohan, Joe Nichols and Jessica Sierra. How do these peoples' names play into the mix? Since every name carries an innate purpose, it is not surprising to discover that all of the individuals mentioned here have monikers that encourage overindulgence and a difficulty making responsible choices. All have names that up the volume on emotion and adrenaline while providing a call to fast-paced, spontaneous adventure. So might "name rehab" help each of these stars regain their life balance? Often even a minor adjustment in spelling can offer a stronger name influence. Some suggestions for new name choices.... Kirsten Caroline Dunst, Aimee Winehouse, Britt Speer, M. Gerard Gibson, Jessi Sierra are "quick fix" options using parts of what's already in place. And all the better would be a total name change. Yes, when life gets on shaky ground, opting for a new name can make a world of difference! | |  | Oprah's Year in 2007 - 11/04/2007 | | As recently reported by People Magazine, Oprah Winfrey has experienced some seeming setbacks during 2007. She started the year off with a bang, opening her $40 million Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. But then came the accidental death of her beloved Golden Retriever, Gracie in May. In October, Oprah let the world know about her serious thyroid issues that have impacted her health and her weight. And finally in late October, came the news of abuse allegations at her school. When I first read the account of Oprah's many trials and tribulations, I immediately assumed that she must be right in the middle of a test year. And sure enough, 2007 is a 4 Cycle Year for Ms. Winfrey. Here at Name Structures, I offer daily Life Cycle forecasts that will key you in on the mood of any particular day according to personal cycle configurations. It is important to not only look at your daily forecast but also the forecast for the month and the year as well. In a 4 Cycle Year, it is inadvisable to begin any new or large undertakings. Yes, Oprah would have done well to wait with the launch of her school until 2008. During a 4 year, life will test an individual to the core in all areas of life. The key is to stay with routine details, while tending to all that has been ignored over the previous 3 years. Do that, and you will be primed and strengthened for progressive growth in the following 5 Cycle Year. Ignore the 4 Cycle, and forge ahead and the likelihood is, the going will get much rougher before it gets easier. Ms. Winfrey will no doubt overcome these most recent challenges. But perhaps, her progress could have gotten an extra boost had she realized the particulars of her own personal Cycle Forecast! | |  | Harry Potter - 07/21/2007 | Authors, playwrights and actors have long realized the importance of naming characters with care and insight. Perhaps not many have consciously keyed into the subliminal factors that create "personality," but certainly the most successful book, screen and stage characters have been blessed by the benefits of a name attuned energetically to the role being played. The name Forrest for instance brings a sensitive, gentle quality to the personality and thus, this first name is an excellent choice for the Forrest Gump character. The name Spiderman generates a strongly generous and humanitarian quality and so is highly appropriate for a character doing good and fighting evil.
J.K. Rowling in chosing the name Harry Potter for her now well-beloved character, followed in the footsteps of other attuned authors by making a great decision on a winning moniker. The first name Harry is all about independence, self-sufficient survival skills... as well as spiritual in-touchness. So a young boy attempting to survive amidst personal loss, while dealing with his wizard abilities could not have asked for a better name. And the full name Harry Potter establishes charisma, sensitivity and a desire to combine efforts with others. J.K. may not have studied the science of naming, but she certainly was able to intuitively use the energy of names to fuel her wonderful Harry Potter personality. | |  | Henry Joins Julia and Danny! - 06/20/2007 | Little Henry Daniel Moder recently joined mom Julia Roberts and dad Danny. And while the name Henry has not been all that popular in recent years (it was 95th for 2006 on the U.S. Social Security's popularity list), there have been a multitude of famous Henrys throughout history. Consider Henry Kissinger, Henry Fonda, Henry Aaron, Henry David Thoreau, Henry Ford, Henry Winkler, Henry Wordsworth Longfellow, Henry Mancini, Henry Moore and even Henry VIII.
Now the question is, should new parents follow in the footsteps of Julia and Danny, adopting this name for their babies? As is readily evident in looking at the list of famous Henrys, this is a name that boosts any innate potential with regard to the arts, acting, writing and even politics. But it is a name that establishes a relentlessly restless interior while also bringing lots of challenges in the relationship department. (Just ask Anne Boleyn or Henry Fonda's four wives.)
So before putting this moniker on a little one's birth certificate, be sure you are open to having a musician or actor in the family. And also be sure you can teach your child the nuances of healthy relating. Stay clear of this name if there is a history of addiction or hyperactivity in the family.
As for Henry Daniel Moder, he could not have been given a more complementary name to carry on his mom's or dad's legacy in front of or behind the camera! | | |
