Your first name of Random makes you a quick thinker, both philosophical and creative. You appreciate music, art, and drama and, if given training, could excel in those fields. Self-consciousness may prevent you from feeling at ease in positions of impromptu expression. Desiring to be free from detail and monotony, you find it difficult to finish what you start if it does not hold your interest. You enjoy reading and the beauties of nature, experiencing peace and relaxation in outdoor activities. A very individual, independent person, you live within your own thoughts. With acquaintances and strangers, you tend to be reticent and reserved. Your friends never know whether they will find you friendly and charming or lost in introspection. When unhappy or disappointed, you can be moody and temperamental, feeling misunderstood and unappreciated. You will go out of your way to help others, and find it difficult to say "no" and mean it. Others impose on your generosity at times.

That is pretty cool, although I can't help but wonder if it's simply one of those placebo effect kinds of things...make a horoscope vague enough and enough people will be able to read and say, "wow! that is SO my day!" that you will give the illusion of credability.

I liked the warnings on those pages about the dangers associated with incorrectly choosing your child's name, and instructions to call them and consult with them before deciding upon a name. rolleyes.gif

True but it's still fun to look up your name anyway. Just like reading your horoscope it's all in good fun.

BINGO. It is just for fun. "Random" matched me better than my first name, or middle name.

Heh. I looked up my name, and the nickname that I had, and they are just about diametrically opposite. One says I'm quick to do things, the other says that i procrastinate. One says I'm great at being diplomatic and dealing with people, and one says that I offend people by being argumentitive. One says that I have a tendancy towards physical activity, and the other says that I hate manual activities. One says that I am a leaser, but the other says that I cannot bring ideas to fruition without the assistance of others.

Of course one is a name my parents picked, and one is a name I picked for myself. Well, actually, since I use a shortened form of my name, I guess I picked both for myself. :-)

Just goes to show, you can't read too much into anything.
