By the way- the first time I did it, I typed T instead of Y at the end of my nickname, and got an earnest reading about how great I was. I tried a couple salty words, the program appears to have a limited number of readings, because they all said the same thing.

[Kilts_Knave]

When you typed "Shay" with a "T" did it say you were a "deep thinker"? Pardon, I couldn't resist!

The program appears to have a limited number of readings, because they all said the same thing.

I believe the program takes the numerical value of your name and assigns characteristics: R = 23 , E = 5 (*3), C = 3

REECE = 23 + 18 = 41 = 4 + 1 = 5

There will only be 9 or perhaps 10 "readings."

BTW, 5 is not a kind number in numerology!

I found a site that focuses more on the etymology of the name which I find to be a bit more meaningful. However the above is suprisingly accurate. Some of the descriptions are very accurate, some not as much, but nothing here is dead wrong.

Jacob

From the Latin Jacobus, which was from the Greek Ιακωβος (Iakobos), which was from the Hebrew name Ya'aqov which meant "holder of the heel" or "supplanter".
