"i don't like that name"

 Years ago, the process of naming your child was a little bit easier as a common rule of thumb was that the little ones were named after their fathers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles...and there were, after all, fewer 'acceptable' names to choose from. These days, almost anything goes, from 'Rain' to 'Sunshine' and all points in between.

Folks for the most part do not realize that what they name their children can have a considerable effect on how they develop: what kind of personality, interests, talents, inner beliefs, goals and confidence levels they grow into can be directly connected to and even 'read' in their given names.

Say what?

How is this possible?

Everything in this Universe is composed of energy. Everything cores back to sound vibrations and names are simply a group of sound vibrations that will either flow with existing energies, or will contain 'blocks' or 'heavier' energies that will make a smooth progress a little more difficult.

What I am saying is that letters, when pronounced or spoken, create an energy pattern and this pattern is responded to by others while also impressing the carrier with the inherent patterns that are held within the letter energies.

Consider the energies held in the words 'Mommy' and 'Daddy'...and I am looking at them from a traditional point of view -- the traditional father is the leader and the bread winner and makes the decisions and the traditional mother is the quieter of the two, allowing Dad to think he is in control.

These are VERY brief overviews, based only on the first letter of each word - just to give you an idea of how the Chaldean energy of names can be read.

I would also like to mention that these letters, the D and the M, are both ruled by the number 4 - which is a grounded, reliable, domestic and stable energy. It is the 4 seasons, the 4 winds, the 4 directions, the 4 corners of a house and the traditional formation of a family unit. The energy of the 4 is very strongly connected to the family and the functions within it.

"Daddy"

The D is closed - it is a door. This energy will remain 'closed' to certain things - the fact that there are 3 of these 'closed' doors in this word shows an energy of 'yes, you may go through this door' and 'no, you may not go through this door'...in other words, this would be a force of guidance, control and allowing or not allowing certain things to be done, avenues to be explored, permissions given or not given...you get the idea, right? This is Dad being Dad...raising his kids with a firm and guiding hand and sometimes having to be tenacious in his decisions regarding what his kids can and cannot do.

"Daddy, can I go to the senior's dance with Todd?"

"Daddy, can I have the car tonight?"

"Daddy, can I have a party?"

"Mommy"

The M, on the other hand, is the quieter of the two - this is the inner workings of a mountain - silent until it explodes. Looked at from a metaphysical standpoint, the (volcanic) mountain, although silent most of the time, is ultimately the one in control.

The M is deep and it covers much of its true nature, much as the marine life is unseen from the platform of a boat - or indeed, the development of the child itself inside the mommy's tummy is unseen by an outside observer. The mommy is also rarely perceived as the woman she truly is: she is simply seen as 'Mommy'. She covers her true self by instinct as she mothers her offspring and is only generally recognized as a separate and unique individual years later when her kids have grown.

"Mommy, Daddy says I can't go to the dance with Todd!"

"Mommy, Daddy says I can't have the car tonight!"

"Mommy, Daddy says I can't have a party!"

Mommy's response is usually something like:

"Well, honey, your Daddy is just trying to keep you safe."

and

"Well, honey, let me see what I can do, okay?"

These short illustrations of the energies held in letters and numbers  should give you an idea that perhaps loading your child's name with Ds might not be such a great idea - while one D is fine as it gives the name holder a firm base to work from, too many will tend to assign the holder with a stubborn, resistant to change and sometimes combative nature.

By the same token, one M is fine as it also gives the carrier a firm base to work from and the ability to stand up and go to bat for itself when necessary, however, too many Ms will tend to subdue the person (consider the words 'murmur' and 'mumble'), to the point of inner meltdown - the M is the only letter in the alphabet that is pronounced with the mouth closed - it keeps the lid on emotions, opinions and even anger, until it literally explodes.

So when it comes to naming your baby, understanding and applying the art and energy of Chaldean numerology fits right in with giving your child every possible advantage that you can.

It just depends what kind of influences you'd like your child to have!

The Mysterious World of Chaldean Energies -- Does it Really Matter What You Name Your Baby? 

Here is something people do all over the world, have done for thousands of years and will continue to do until the sun stops shooting solar flares...and no, it is not what some of you might be thinking, although it is certainly connected. What I am speaking of comes after the thing some of you might be thinking, and it can be done at the drop of a hat, on a whim, based on a memory or a relative or a color or a dog...the possibilities are limitless, but the results are what we end up carrying for life.

So what might this thing be? It might be what you might be thinking, but it's not -- it's what people do nine months later -- when they have to think of a name.

There are good names and bad names, popular names and weird names. Folks name their kids for their uncles, their neighbors, their first loves and their grandpas. Some even slap days of the week or signs of the times on their precious little ones, often without serious regard to how 'Heaven' or 'Friday' might be received at the local grade school. I, for one, wondered why, if my parents really had to name me after a plant, they couldn't have picked a flower, like Rose, as opposed to a weed, like Heather. But, no matter. I have grown and spread and come to love the color purple. I have even come to love my name.

Which brings me back to the subject at hand.

There is a certain agony to naming a baby...at least to those parents who take the time to seriously contemplate the consequences of picking a name like Harry when their last name is Yarms. This is something that will define this little person until they are old enough to change it themselves, but by then, any possible damage would likely have already been done and Harry will probably shave his yarms on a regular basis. So due care and attention is required when undertaking such an important and potentially life forming and ego defining mission.

So here is a bit of help.

If you want to lend a solid stubborn streak to your baby, throw in a few Ds. Of course, viewed from a positive angle, this can also be called tenacity. If you would prefer your child to be imbued with a loving and sweet, perhaps even treacle-like disposition, throw in quite a few Ls. On the other hand, if you thrive on silence and the seen-but-not-heard type of character (notwithstanding the occasional tantrum), be sure to assign plenty of Ms. If you are fairly boring yourself and would like to surround yourself with excessive energy and enthusiasm bordering on insanity, a good dose of Es should do the trick.

Why? Well, because everything in this world revolves around energy and names are part of the cycle -- the ancient Chaldean meaning or energy contained in each letter dictates how a person's attitude and behaviour might form or be influenced: for example, the D is a doorway and is shown as closed. Metaphorically, a closed door is not overwhelmingly open if you see what I mean -- so a person with a few Ds in their name(s) may well be more 'closed' to certain aspects of life than other letter energies. The more forward formation of the L is a cattle prod (don't ask) and represents a loving and gentle tail-lift in the right direction...thus it is a kind and helpful energy. The M can be easily explained as the mountain -- there is much more going on beneath its silent exterior than can be seen or heard from outside -- until it explodes. Or erupts. Which brings me to the excitable and eager E (consider E=mc2) and the sheer energy behind the forward points of all its limbs -- this is the most extreme and extravagant letter in the alphabet and can leave one exhausted beyond belief.

What I am getting at, behind the joking, is that Chaldean numerology is a serious subject, as is naming your child. Each letter in this ancient system is an energetic hieroglyphic symbol that has a matching number frequency -- this energy forms a pattern based on the group of letters each name forms. This energy is then 'attached' to the person who carries it and can have remarkable effects on the emotional development and ultimate confidence and growth of that person.

This is not a subject that can be proven through one short, rather light-hearted article and has taken this student many years to understand...but it is the original form of numerology and is, indeed, the father to the more common systems, such as one known as Pythagorean (after the Greek mathematician, Pythagoras). This fellow straightened and simplified the Chaldean system until it was rendered essentially unrecognizable: the original meanings were muddied and even lost.

Based in the science of numbers and sound, Chaldean numerology is a fascinating science-art form that most definitely interacts with the energies of this earth plane and as such, is worthy of investigation and contemplation.

Especially when naming your precious child -- and that's no joke.
