Introduction
Your Name and Your Destiny
Do you know the meaning of your name? Do you know why and how your parents chose the name for you? Does that meaning or reason affect or influence you in any positive or negative way? It is a common believe that a child becomes his names that do not have positive meanings are believed to negatively influencing that child’s character, personally or what he will become in life.
Top 50 Igede Names and their Meanings…
Giving your child a good name is in a way prophesying over him or her, speaking wealth, beauty or abundance into his or her life. It brings to mind the story of Jabez’s in the Bible. His mother named him Jabez because she born him in sorrow. True to his name, Jabez’s life became sorrowful until his prayer before God removes sorrow from his life and blesses him and made him more Honourable than all his brothers.

Do names dictate our fate? To some extend, yes. This brings us to the idea of Norminative determinism. This is the idea that names play a role in determining our care and faith. The classic examples of this is Usain Bolt, the fastest man on Earth, of all time, who happens to have the surname, Bolt – to run fast. Maybe, this is a coincidence. We do not really know. But certainly, there is a strong association between the things he was good at and his name.

Proven or not, there are countless other examples. Williams Wordsmith, a great poet is another good example. Just like his name, he was a man of many word. It is possible that you are drawn to what your name keeps reminding you of. We know that we pay a lot of attention to our names.
American researchers, Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner considered the influence a given name can have on the child, from their performances at school to career opportunity and beyond. Their study showed that, many parents believe that the names they choose for their children has a significant effect on their future and there data to support this idea. However, there is also evidence to the contrary. Levitt and Dubner cited the real examples of two America brothers names; winners and Loser. Loser, the elder brother, turned out to a huge success, while Winner, the younger one was appreciably less fortunate. This indicate that it is probably, reasonable to conclude that a given name is only one of many factors contributing to a child’s destiny.
Levitt and Dubner further speculated that the name chosen for a child reflects more on the parents (specifically their care, intention and status), that it is this factor, rather than the name, which will have a greater influence on the upbringing of a child, and hence his or her future. Although there may be a correlation between name and destiny, there is probably no direct causal link. This speculation to a very large extent, negates the idea of Norminative Determinism.
