@swenani, I hear the wairimus were good in 'donations'

I personally don't think anything good or bad comes from names themselves but rather the whole psychology of names! if you name your child Hitler - they will get traumatised and my go looking up why people hated Hitler. that is why I guess people don't name their kids Judas (even though Judases were many but one spoilt the name for all others). A good name should place an aspiration before the kid! remind them why you called them that name and let them identify with it. Most of the people calling themselves Wa* don't think twice about their names. We as observers sometimes draw parallels between character and names but it's a form of pareidolia! We tend to see the world not as it is but rather as we are! So there are no "characters" in names... just a couple of observations. Do you know the 1.3 billion chinese have a very limited set of names. 70% of the Chinese population uses the same 45 surnames! and thus if names had an innate power you would expect almost 1 billion people to have 45 characteristics - but they don't!

The naming system is intended to immortalise the ancestors and doesn't determine the clan. All children (including those named on the mother's side )utomatically assume the clan of the father and the mother remains a lone ranger.
