(I asked Joe Ivory to tell us about the name "Linda". "Providence" is one of my favorite shows, and yet I thought the name "Linda" for Syd's mother seemed inappropriate. "Linda" to me is soft and feminine, like Linda Evans, but the vibration of sound seems to accurately depict "Linda Hanson" as she appears on the show. Pam Powers)
There is much to say about the name LINDA... to begin with it is a strong,
very strong name. The first (3) letters add up to (8) meaning this is a take
charge energy that will allow no other person or energy before it. A person
with this name is usually (in their thinking) justified to make their own
laws and slant issues (through their influence) to move and bring effects
that they alone desire. It is a deep psychological need within that compels
them to transform and change people, things and situations that they feel
should be better structured , revised or altered (to reach higher levels of
efficiency).
This name has an inner motivation to stand out from the crowd and to avoid
stunting mediocrity...
not necessarily as a leader or firebrand of public fame, but to be able to be
known as one who is highly self directed and passionately individualistic.
It motivates the person bearing this name to achieve in ways that single them
out as unique, original and inventive. In other words they want to be
distinctive and appreciated by others as special and accomplished.
Normally the name LINDA is very creative... not only artistically, since they
always have a beautiful exterior and dress in tasteful attire, but mentally
and energetically. They can be outspoken when their special issues are
assaulted or their position is threatened, but generally they are quiet and
reserved, allowing their appearance and demeanor to speak for them. The name
adds up to the Master Number (22) which is both the highly motivated world
conqueror and the (4) who is focused, quiet (accountant, engineering,
administrative types) observant and low profile. This person would move back
and forth between both numbers as they live their daily lives. There will be
occasions when they are on the podium proclaiming their beliefs and rendering
opinions that can change the lives of others; and there will be their other
moments when they seek the more reserved and private living style that
provides them the grounding and protection they so dearly need.
There are (5) letters in the name which means they have the forward mobility
of a salesperson, public figure or entrepreneur, but it the total number
value of the name (4) that crowns their final personal expression as an
orderly, hard working, serious and cautiously thorough personage.
When you speak or pronounce the name audibly, the name LINDA has (2)
syllables. That indicates an innate shyness, reserve, propriety and
conciliatory desire to live a gentle, caring and nurturing life. These two
numbers do have a dichotomy moving through their living energies, however,
since the FOUR qualities of her name call for responses that are measured,
well considered and safe; and the FIVE qualities that impel and demand a more
reflexive, experiential and adventurous (risk taking) approach to life.
People bearing this name can either more toward the FOUR or more toward the
FIVE. In many, they will, as mentioned above, move in both directions
according to their mood or current disposition. One has to look to the
particular individual's DATE of BIRTH since that will affect a LINDA's
actions. Also, to accurately profile one with this name, you have to first
determine (from other parts of the chart) if this person is running off of
negative programming or if they are really out there in a positive way caring
about others, beside themselves.
