I recently acquired a small book entitled Fortune Telling: Book of Names. It's a kitschy little thing you can get at gift shops and such, an it purports to give you a personal fortune based solely on your first name. Naturally, my first instinct was to look up the names of several AA characters. Surprisingly, some of the fortunes were uncanny in how well they described the characters! And a few were hilarious in how they were the exact opposite of the characters.

I won't comment on these, just see the similarities for yourself... if you want a character that doesn't appear here, just ask.

Dahlia: Good news regarding your financial situation is on the way.
Diego: Your magnetic personality will bring you much personal and professional success.
Emma (variant Ema): You will finally receive money that is long overdue.
Frances (variant Francesca, Franziska): A season of great success is in store for you. Now is the time to take risks.
Iris: You carry a burden too heavy for you to bear alone. Ask others for help or you will suffer.
Lawrence (variants Laurence, Larry): Working for a tyrannical boss is a choice. Choose another option, and you will be freed from stress and anxiety.
Maya: Your uncertain living condition will be resolved after the new year.
Mia: You will have faithful friends and adoring lovers.
Morgan: A career failure will unexpectedly pave the way for a success.
Miles: You're a gypsy, but true love will bring you home.
Pearl: Your loyalty and affection are prized by your friends. You will never be lonely or in want of companionship.
Phoenix: You are destined for a loving relationship and financial security.
Richard (variant Dick): You will have several significant financial setbacks. Be smarter with your money, and you'll get through it.
Wendy: A deep love will forever change your life.

Yes, I would enjoy to see Manfred (or whatever variation of the name the book has.)

I'd say that the most eerie coolest ones were Diego, Gumshoe, Iris, Larry, and all of the Feys.

That's what I was thinking. XD

Poor Phoenix though... financial security? He's always broke, isn't he? XD

He'd be destined for a loving relationship if he'd just admit his feelings to Miles. XD

Ooh, more replies than I expected.
Note that the funny thing about Gumshoe's fortune, is it's also Richard Wellington's fortune. And there it doesn't fit at all.
Going through the book, I can see no pattern for what names made it in. Why is there a fortune for a name as obscure as Phoenix, but nothing even remotely close to Manfred? laaaaaame.

How about Damon, Luke, or Ron?


Damon was not in the book, the closest is Damion: You will marry a woman of ample means.
Luke: Your stress and anxiety will be eased when you right a past wrong.
Ronald (Ron, Ronnie): Outside opinion will lead you astray on an important matter. Follow your instincts.

Not in the book. I'm guessing Dee by itself isn't a name, and it could be short for a whole lot of things.

Matthew (Mathew, Matt): A yearlong sabbatical will teach you more than decades of schooling.
Lana: Unforseen difficulties will delay a project. Remain flexible, and they won't hamper your success.
Lisa: not in the book, what the hell book.

Funny stuff, but why the hell don't they have Lisa? It's a common name, I thought. Manfred though isn't even common anymore here in Germany, so it's no wonder that the book doesn't have it.
