Generally when I lexigram a person's name I first go by what they commonly use.
Then their full birth name...which I often compare to their birthdate. And then married name in full...
And then maiden/married hyphenated name.

Here is an explanation of how words are not to be taken one way.

Lie does not always mean an untruth.
Lie can be very benign.
Some rethinking of what one thinks of the word "lie" or "lies" is perhaps in order?
Like the word "present".
PRESENT:

No.

The words that offend us or repulse us also say alot about our outlook on things, just like words we like do.

You also have....
She does not lie.
She is not a liar.
She does not like liars.

Later!

Edit /add:
Again the question of negative words has been raised.

quote:

---

What does it mean if there are more negative words than positive ones in a persons name? Does this mean they are evil or very bad in some way?

---

No! Again the question of negative words has been raised.

quote:

---

What does it mean if there are more negative words than positive ones in a persons name? Does this mean they are evil or very bad in some way?

---

No! Such words, especially under 4 letters in length are very common in many names. It all depends on what other words appear to alter things. Also it can mean one hates lies or liars, and not be one themselves.

One (of many) exceptions is the word "LOVE" which seems to appear in only about 7% of full names.

Linda Goodman's own name...Mary Alice Kemery has such things in it.
I AM A REAL LIAR.
I LIE.
MY KARMIC CRIME, I LIE.
MY KARMA.
I AM LAME.
I CRY.
So do you believe that about her?
She was lame before her death. Diabetes led to an amputation.
She does not have a "NO" or "NOT" to negate all that. I wonder how she felt about that being on her name? Did she even know it was there?
One can find good and bad things in anyone's name. Is that why she changed her name? Doubtful, as she has I AM GOOD, AND I AM NO GOOD, in her new name.
Because Mary Alice Kemery does not have "NO", the two names do not share it so it cannot be used to negate the negatives in her birth name. And I find it illogical to say that one can use "NO" to negate bad things but not good things. That is a desire for it to be so, not a fact.
So think carefully before assuming the word lie, or any other negative word is about the person. It could reflect them of course, or maybe only what they do not like.
Another example:
A person has MURDER or MURDERED in their name.
Does that mean they will murder or be murdered?
No! Perhaps they scream bloody murder or murder the language. Perhaps they love murder mysteries, or maybe they are a forensics detective or counsel families of murder victims.
Same for words such as RAPE or STEAL.
One could be a rape counselor and the other "gets things for a steal", a "bargain hunter". Or steals bases in baseball.
Too many words change meaning depending on context.
Assume nothing when it comes to words.
Please read this thread for explanation of negative words in names. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001631.html
Example here based on "lie" etcetera.

Thank you SO much for your explanation I have been lexigramming the name of someone I started seeing recently.........OK, "started seeing" doesn't really describe it. There is so much intensity it scares me.......

Thanks for the explanations! You have done extensive research and what you have provided us is really informative, inspiring and enlightening- your deeper investigations for the word "lie" have shed new light upon me, and now I perceive lexigramming from a different angle- finally I realize now that Linda, too, had her limitations as human! Your revolutionary lexigramming methods are quite brilliant! Thank you!

posted August 22, 2006 07:19 AM         

I have the deepest admiration and respect for Linda and her astrological knowlege!

But when it comes to lexigramming I know what I am doing. That is not ego, that is fact. Just as Linda knew she was a master at astrology, lexigramming for me is a large part of my life interests. I have been reading and collecting dictionaries since I taught myself how to read at the age of 4. I first lexigrammed and anagrammed my name in part, and other words in 1961. That was 45 years ago. Linda only begain her journey into that arena in 1987 I believe or thereabouts. That would be some 26 years later. Then in 1997 I met my husband who had been doing them since about 1976 having learned the art from his grandmother. As a child many of my elders, great grandparents and all did these for fun. Along with scrabble, the old anagram palor game with a board and tiles, somewhat like a blend of Boggle and Scrabble was not an uncommon pasttime it seems for us and our elders before. Strange too is that he and I shared the same passion for lexigramming and anagramming and met and came together even though he is 15 years my junior. It was/is meant to be. Certainly not just for lexigramming, but it is one of the major interests we do entusiastically share!
I have encountered many folks born in the late 1800s and early 1900s who played at anagramming and lexigramming. The only thing is few thought to write books on the subject. Different names were also used for the "game" or art.
Lexaconography, lexagramming, word hunt, gramming, word code mysteries, and the list goes on. The artform was popular at the turn of the century(late 1800s and early 1900s) and in ancient Rome and during the times of Shakespeare and Chaucer and so forth. The Church during the dark ages often employed anagramming and lexigramming as a form of code to talk without being discovered passing seceret messages. It was also used to divinate and to search for deeper meanings behind names, dates, words, phrases and names. Full names, not just short names.
And contrary to our dear Linda, God Bless her...
It was and is not an English only practice.
Why she said that makes little sense to me since it was/is not true.
One can attach all the new age speak to a thing/concept all they want but it does not eliminate the facts, it only serves to obscure them and to cause folks to believe that is the true and only way something can be done. Being a published author already, Linda had the clout to push her concept on lexigramming into the larger public eye. The times were ripe for it to gain popularity and unbeknownst to most folks, it did indeed appear that Linda invented the art form and had the absolute last word on the subject.
Well suffice it to say...
here is an example of NON English anagramming. Same can be done with Lexigramming, as most folks are beginning to realize.

For example:
(yes, I know this is an anagram..but it will serve for now)
AVE MARIA, GRATIA PLENA, DOMINUS TECUM
(“Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.”

can be anagrammed to become

VIRGO SERENA, PIA, MUNDA ET IMMACULATA
“Virgin serene, holy, pure, and immaculate.”

Notice that the phrase is a Perfect Anagram in Latin only. When translated into the English, we can see the meanings are similar, but there is no longer an anagrammatical relationship.

Here is another:
A famous Latin anagram was an answer made out of a question asked by Pilate. The question was: "QUID EST VERITAS?" (What is the truth?), and the answer: "EST VIR QUI ADEST" (it is the man who stands before you).

Thanks again folks!
I DO however understand Linda's idea of Adding letters/words in "certain circumstances!" If anyone is interested in my take on that concept(and those I played and learned with and from decades ago) I will explain!

I would urge folks to consider the following when they feel I have no right to talk about lexigramming in a way that differs from Linda's;
Is Linda or was she the end all to be all only real astrologer out there?
Because she was very good at it and wrote books on it does that now mean that no one else is allowed to write astrology books and all? Other astrologers are writing books and as with my discussing lexigrams, we are not insulting Linda. Even Linda I hope could understand that.
Her ways still stand. But to never look outside of or beyond her or any writer's angle is to close off ones mind to other concepts and ideas.
The Earth would still be considered flat and the center of the universe if new thoughts were not entertained.
So are there any openminded people interested in really talking about lexigramming and all the unfettered possibilities?

Another thing...
I feel that the Quatrains of Nostradamus are, at least in part lexigrammatical or anagrammatical and even paladromic in nature.
I have been trying to decypher his "code" for some time.

posted August 22, 2006 03:30 PM         

So you consider yourself just "Liezell Bradshaw" now.
That will not yeild as much as your full maiden name or FMN hyphenated with your married and the nick "Liezell", but it will show the specifics of the you as just "Liezell Bradshaw".
Hope I made sense.
But your birth name hyphenated with current married and or nicks and or plus the married name with birth and nicks can give a better view of the complete you.

So the variations are all still there.

And no I have not actually finished lexigramming your name(s).
I am still hunting and sorting through words.

Give me time.
I will get back to you with "Liezell Bradshaw".

Even non letter languages can be lexigrammed, it is just by a "couple of" different processes.

I cannot reveal the details of those secret processes at this time.

Animal speak, enviroment speak, there are many avenues to explore.

Like I said....
The art of lexigramming is far more interesting and diverse than folks have been lead to believe.

My Birth/maiden name is fine.
My First and second married names were terrible when Lexigrammed!

My third, now married name is WONDERFUL!

Another thing.

My maiden/birth name is the same as my grandmother's married one.
How to make mine show our differences?
Aside from nicknames added or hyphenating my maiden/married names....
I can add my birthdate! In full or just the month and day!

So many wonderous things can be done with lexigrams!

I know alot of things to do with them I have yet to tell anyone about!

I have been told numerous times before that I can be a healer. I also can "see" things since childhood, kind of suppressed it since being an adult.

>>>I wondered when I made a mushy happier time lexigram if things had changed for you with Mr. Bradshaw.I will make another asap!
Before you remarry, you might want to consider a compatibilty/relationship lexigram check. And when naming a child if you have any later on. Lexigramming dates with your name can also give omens for you for that day, or any important day planned.

PS.
Ok...
I am babbling.
But I DO LOVE LEXIGRAMMING!
And contrary to popular opinion, it is not an easy thing to do to make a lexigram with only what one has to work with.
Because I do not add letters, my job is much more difficult than those who add letters.
Adding letters is as I said fine...but do not call it a lexigram. It is not a lexigram. But it is a good way to do a lexigrammatical "reading" for someone.
So a PURE LEXIGRAM © is different from a Lexigrammatical based "reading".
