What's in a name?
I found this at some random site I stumbled across: a huge list of names and what they say about your personality. It's pretty weird, since these people seem to be insisting that a name is deterministic (there's video clips of someone explaining how your name shapes your mind).
Anyway, this is what came back for Anne:
Your first name of Anne has given you a rather quiet, reserved, serious, studious nature. You have sensitivity and appreciation for the finer and deeper things of life, the beauties of nature, music, art, and literature. The people who mean the most to you are those who can offer you intellectual companionship. It is only when you are among those who understand your deeper nature that you can really be yourself. The experience of having your remarks taken lightly or belittled, particularly during the early years of your life, has caused you to keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself. You do not express yourself spontaneously when conversing with others; hence other people may often regard you as being aloof, and even unfriendly. Your difficulty in putting your deeper thoughts and feelings into words can lead to problems in more intimate associations. This name has caused you to live much within yourself. You are rather easily hurt or offended. At such times you can withdraw into a mood, and may not even speak to others. Aside from these points, this name contains many fine qualities. You are a thoughtful, analytical person, and you know your own mind, even though you may not speak it. You are very conscientious and competent in all that you do. You take seriously any responsibilities that you have--in the home, in the community, or at the job. Worry and mental depression could be problems in your life. Physically, any weaknesses in your health would centre in the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs.
It seems a little bit too serious for me, but it is right about more than I expected. I've been told many times by many people that I'm aloof and stuck-up... at least until you get to know me (and maybe even after that!). I think pride is my biggest fault, so... I dunno. I'm also pretty withdrawn, but I think I've learned to deal with social situations too, so I'm okay with expressing myself even around people I don't know.
The site is here if anyone else cares. Sorta fun, if nothing else! ^_^
