I think the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
Oh, wait... #$^% accursed subliminal messages!
I have believed for quite a while now that you grow into your name. When someone finds out your name, or whenever they think of it or use it, it somewhat affects their image of you. Think Michael. Do you have a preconceived notion of what a Michael looks like, or how a Michael acts? Maybe not a good example because there are so many different famous Michaels. But I do believe that how someone sees you is influence in a small way by your name (or the nickname they use for you), and this in turn can affect the way you act, as you subconsciously come to embrace fulfil the image that people have of you.
Of course, Manardariel, someone has already tried this with Boromir and it didn't seem to work.
