Somebody somewhere's heard of it

Volkswagon has a car named Scirocco. This link is to the newest incarnation of it, but VW has had it for as long as 30 years.

Sadly, I cannot remember, but this may have been my first exposure to the idea of a scirocco, in the form of a VW! Though I really thought I was the first person to think of it as a boys' name! Ah, well, all geniuses must arrive at some of the same thoughts eventually, I suppose...

I haven’t tried writing a long post on my Word and then copying it to a message before, but I figure this is a good time.

To best understand what I am going to copy from the book for you, please read the following link (at least the first part, that talks about this book) before going on to the bulk of this post. The responses to that post will also help.

The book says that the dominant phoneme of your name is the consonant combination “and.” This phoneme is called The Cynic. Characteristics of people with names dominated by this phoneme are: Strong, Introspective, Aware; Conspiratorial, Phobic, Calculating. People with “and” names rank 8/10 for Charisma, 9/10 for Career Success, 7/10 for Love & Friendship, and 8/10 for Power.

Names dominated by the “and” phoneme include:
Anders
Anderson
Andre
Andrea
Andreas
Andres
Andrew
Andy

The combination of the authoritarian letter A and the negative letter N sets up a level of tension that manifests itself in many pessimistic forms (anger, antagonize, anxious, anti-, anguish, and annoy) and it’s this friction that creates the inherent conflict in the AND personalities. The dark qualities of the letter D (death, destruction, doom, damnation, and despotism) don’t do much to mitigate the problem, and even those whose names incorporate the letter R (Andrea, Andre, Andrew) are affected by the dramatic effects of the DR phoneme found in the words druid, dragon, drek, drum, dream, drastic, and dread.
