Names and their meanings affect you your whole life. Your first name is a treasured gift from your parents. It lasts you a lifetime. Your name can even bring you luck and make your life easier. The sound of your name or its meaning can help make you popular or even appear noble.
Your first name always means you. Even if a crowd of people around you have your name, when you hear your name called, you always turn around. For that name truly belongs to you alone.
Your name is something you can always count on. It links you to the past and shows that you belong to someone. Your name can also indicate what part of the world you come from.
The importance of your first name really hit home with me a couple of months ago. My brother called me one night with some news. He mentioned the name, John Beltzer.

Hes doing something sensational, my brother exclaimed. He has teamed up with David Lee Roth, Michael Bolton, Billy Joel and Ronnie Spector....
