in reply to a message by Andie
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.
Consequently, many ANDs choose to soften their names by using the diminutive form (Andy and Andie) – suggesting a person somewhat uncomfortable with the inherent arrogance of their names. The diminutizing effect of the Y and IE at the end of a name has its roots in childhood, when parents unconsciously soften their speech by appending words with high-frequency tones (cat becomes kitty, dog becomes doggy, and blanket becomes blankie).
Since these names are influenced by some of the darker aspects of the human condition, ANDs tend to struggle with occasional bouts of cynicism that color their outlooks and permeate their relationships. But although these are individuals who prefer to see the glass as being half empty, ANDs consider themselves to be realists (rather than pessimists) who are simply being candid about the state of the world. While this may translate as a tendency to stomp on the flower of hope when it blooms, ANDs feel that it’s their duty to tell the truth. If nothing else, you’ll never be in doubt as to where they stand. These are unquestionably strong individuals who are not going to be swayed by criticism.
As an extension of their serious natures, ANDs have a tendency to parent those around them and bring all the elements of a big brother or sister into their relationships. While this might prove tedious to some, it will prove attractive to those who need honest criticism in their lives. And this is where the AND personality shines. When they feel appreciated, there is nothing they wouldn’t do for a friend.
Life with ANDs may be comfortable and predictable, but expect it to be punctuated by periodic bursts of high maintenance. Still, their saving grace is rooted in their exceptional communication skills, and because they will always talk things out before losing their tempers, you can count on family life flowing along relatively smoothly.
Andrew Jackson is cited as a famous AND.
This is all taken verbatim from the book The Secret Universe of Names: The Dynamic Interplay of Names and Destiny, by Roy Feinson.
