Kabalarians and the Name Game - your name affects your health

I typed in my name and was told, among other things,

Quote:
This name can adversely affect the health of your respiratory organs, the heart and lungs. Also, you are prone to suffer from weaknesses centering in the head.
Weaknesses centering in the head? So my name so ineffable that just pronouncing it can make me insane?

Ah, I remember a friend coming across this site a couple of years ago; we had endless fun trying names on it.
Quote:
As Cthulhu, you have a natural interest in the welfare of your fellow man, and a desire to help and serve others in a humanitarian way. You are responsible and generous, although somewhat scattering and disorganized at times. Any jobs requiring systematic and conscientious effort, or involving any form of drudgery, dismay you. In your work, you would seek a position offering self-expression through contact with people, such as sales or teaching, or a position giving scope to your creative, artistic talents. You are good-natured and likeable, and people tend to confide in you and seek your advice in personal problems. Others sense your sincere interest and desire to help, and you can always be counted on to see the bright side of any problem. You enjoy making others happy and you never let your own problems "get you down" for any length of time, even though you do tend to worry too much at times. Your optimism can be a source of inspiration to others as well as yourself. In close personal relationships you are usually thoughtful and considerate. However, your natural interest in others, coupled with your sympathetic reaction to problems, could draw you into emotional situations which may be difficult to get out of. Health weakness would appear as skin conditions or ailments relative to the liver. A tendency to overeat quick-energy foods aggravates any health problems.
Now that's accuracy!

After putting in my full first name, I was described as a procrastinator, and someone without any drive in business.

When I put in my nickname, the shortened form of my proper name, suddenly I became a born leader with much ambition!

I guess if I start a business, I better use my nickname!

I put in my daughter's name, Ana, and my neice's name, Sheena. I got the exact same report on both names. So much for each name having different properties.

The report on my name was 85% wrong. I am not impressed.

The whole idea is so ridiculous I don't know why you are even bothering to try it out. In fact, the idea is so ridiculous I don't even know why I'm even bothering to reply.

Because it's funny to see what other people believe though somewhat depressing as well. You never know when someone may come up with a scam that is not so easily debunked.

I'd reply, but I can't be bothered.

That Cthulhu. When he isn't driving people mad with his visage and eating everyone else, he's listening to your problems and giving you advice.

What an Elder God!

Kabalarian Cockamamie

Your name determines your whole future, your personality, your "mental direction" and even your sex life. However, if you are not satisfied with your life, just change your name and your life changes with it...

Take the Name Matching Test!

This "science" seems to have the same idea about a name determining your life as does numerology. So here is my idea: put Kabalarians and numerologists in the same room and have them battle it out over what different names mean. Best case scenario: they kill each other.

Health Weaknesses for the name of: Freakazoid

Your health could suffer in the intestinal tract causing constipation and related difficulties such as arthritis or rheumatism.

Health Weaknesses for the name of: Booger

Any physical weaknesses relative to this name would show in the generative organs.

Health Weaknesses for the name of: Porky

You are overly fond of heavy foods such as meat, potatoes, breads and pastries and could suffer with stomach and intestinal disorders, constipation or boils.


Your first name of Stupid has given you the vision and foresight to be able to organize others and to hold positions of responsibilities with poise and self-confidence. This name creates an optimistic outlook on life and favourable conditions in your personal affairs. You have the ability to express your thoughts and ideas, and you are friendly, likeable, and generous. You enjoy fun, laughter and congenial association. This name also gives you an appreciation of art, music, drama, or any of the many forms of expression in the arts. Since you are quick and fluent in your expression, you have to guard against boastfulness or dominating a situation.



Health Weaknesses for the name of: Worf

You are quite healthy, but possible trouble areas are found in the generative organs.

Poor Mr. Worf..
