About the book: 2014 / It has long been noticed that the sounds that a person often hears have a huge impact on his character and destiny. Are there words that we hear more often than our own name? A name is not just an opportunity to recognize a person even before meeting him: life and fate, character traits, self-perception, and behavior towards other people can essentially depend on it. By giving a name to a child, we largely determine his future. The book, in addition to the origin, meaning and characteristics of names, provides advice on choosing a name, as well as legislative acts that can help people who want to change it (name).
