Know the Name, Know the Person by Sharón Miller is a trailblazing, industry changing, fresh look at names and how a person’s name provides an immediate insight into others, as well as our own, personality traits.

Know the Name, Know the Person is not just a personality insight book using names but is very informative and well researched. ”According to the 2003 US Census Bureau, only 1219 different male names are shared by 90% of the boys in the United States. Compare this with the 4275 girl names that 90% of girls in the United States share. All people with the same name carry similar qualities.”

Neimology – What is it? According to the author, “I began developing Neimology in 1981 by slowly putting patterns together. I became serious about Neimology in 1991 and started making it the focus of my attention versus a hobby. I have been doing readings for people using Neimology since 1992. In 1996, I started teaching classes on how to do Neimology, which eventually lead to the book.”

"We live in a very busy world: Internet, blackberries, video games, e-mails, Internet chats, faxes, etc… which means “we must make decisions about people quickly, to hire or not; to share personal information, or not; to do a business transaction or not; to trust with money or not. Often there is not enough time to know the person sufficiently before making a decision that could cost both time and money along with one’s reputation. Knowing what to look for in a name provides an immediate insight into others, as well as our own, personality traits”. Know the Name, Know the Person can be fun as well as causing great conversations with friends and family. This book can be a very unique resource, which can help one make important life changing decisions.

The author says, “Names represent who we are, so business names represent the qualities of the business. Microsoft means it takes care of itself first so that it can then take care of others (M). Microsoft loves to give advice, tell others what to do and how to do it and considers itself a world influence, as all are family (I). Microsoft wants to be in charge of itself (C) and knows how to take care of others (O) but doesn't want to be told when to nurture (second O, R). Microsoft continues to learn (S), has a rebellious spirit (R) and strives for accuracy (R). This company will hold onto a pattern or idea longer than is sometimes necessary (FT) and wants to be the first to do things (T).”

In Know the Name, Know the Person there is a great example using the movie ‘When Harry Met Sally” where the two were set up on a blind date. "Knowing Neimology, the couple would have had an idea of the other before meeting. They would have known the other was just as mentally oriented as themselves, shared a love of books, both were amiable individuals, observant and competent. They had lots in common to start conversations and a relationship".

Know the Name, Know the Person shows you how to unlock the secrets hidden within someone’s name so that you have immediate access to someone’s personality. This discovery about names is breath of fresh air and I applaud Sharón Wyeth for working hard to get this book published. Know the Name, Know the Person is not just a book you’ll read once, but like a dictionary, you will find yourself returning to it often. Whether better understanding a co-worker, friend, relative, spouse or naming a newborn, Know the Name, Know the Person is #1 on my recommendation list. After you buy your copy, it will become one of your favorite resource books of the year. Fun, entertaining and informative!
