The Bible Codes and Your Baby's Name

Donna Woodrum, married 37 years to John “Woody” Woodrum, the mother of 3, the grandmother of 7, and a great-grandmother. Donna calls herself, “Grandma the Great!” Donna & Woody also raised 2 foster children for 13 years. Donna obtained a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, emphasis on Family & Relationships, from Pepperdine University. Throughout her life, Donna has been fascinated with the names of people; how they got their names, what their name said about people, etc. Possibly because she was not enamored of her own name, yet was unexplainably reluctant to legally change it, Donna has always been interested in the origin and meaning of people’s names. Even the number of same letters, and interesting juxtaposition of letters has fascinated her. Her unique new book, “The Bible Codes and Your Baby’s Name” includes a copyright for the format she created specifically for this book - that of spelling the name vertically down the page and attaching a Bible verse horizontally next to a letter, with the same 1st letter of any Bible verse. (The Bible verses were not part of the copyright.) Having taken the top 100 girls and boys names of 2012 for her book, Donna lamented about the state and nature of names in 2012, the list used for her book’s publication. There were no girls’ names that started with “D”. Not Diane, Deborah, Dorothy, Denise, or….Donna. “John” was on the list, and has been on the list forever. Donna knows there is an ebb and flow of popularity in people’s names. When politician Hubert Humphrey was born, there already was a lad named Humphrey…who would become the most famous male movie star of all time, Humphrey Bogart. In 2013, the name has all but disappeared from usage in America. That also applies to the names Ulysses, Millard, and Spiro, all names of past American Presidents and a Vice President. If you would like to add your name to the list of names in Donna’s next book of Baby Names, you can send her your name information care of this publisher.
