What's In A Name?

Nothing to blog for today so....
I went on a "Shazlin-hunt" on the net. Among the interesting finds (besides the dozen or so blogs by people of the same name and bumping into my fotoblog a few times) is this Kabalarian Philosophy site. I think it's Jewish (Kabala-rian), but what the heck, I'll just do it for fun.
"Description of Your First Name of: Shazlin

Although the name Shazlin creates the urge to be creative, independent, and self-sufficient, we point out that it causes a materialistic, somewhat self-opinionated approach that frustrates higher humanitarian qualities. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the reproductive organs, and tension or accidents to the head.

The name Shazlin creates a very independent, practical, analytical nature with skillful business abilities. You desire freedom from restrictions and authority in order that you can pursue your own ambitions. This name gives you leadership qualities and you are seldom happy in positions where you must direction from others. Material and financial success are the focus of your interests, but sacrificing much for material ambition will result in a lack of harmony and balance in your personal life, particularly a lack of appreciation for social courtesies and things of a more inspirational nature."
I think it's a load of bull, though.
It's you who makes the name, not the other way around. Of course, in Islam, a name does have an effect on an individual's personality, but to this detailed extent? I don't think so.
It's just plain ridiculous to me.
