Shasta: Greeting, folks! Shasta here with a little blurb about the names of the DBZ people! Today, we will be looking at the meanings behind each name and what they symbolize. A special thank you to Kablarian Philosphy for providing the name searches! *clears throat* Okay, here is our first analysis: Trunks.

Your name of Trunks has given you a desire for self-expression and for positions that allow contact with people, free from the restrictions and monotony into which you are often drawn. Although you desire to be spontaneous and natural, you are often drawn into technical and methodical lines of endeavour and the incidentals of life.

You are friendly by nature, but you cannot enjoy complete ease in association because of a difficulty in expressing yourself. While you can be exacting and thorough in whatever you decide to undertake, and desire to keep a well-ordered life with everything in its place, it is not easy for you to maintain the system and order you would like. There is conflict between your desires and your expression which does not allow scope for your capabilities. This lack of fulfilment of your deeper qualities tends to create repression and frustration. You enjoy sweet, rich foods, as well as meat and starches, and any indulgence would create skin disorders or possible intestinal trouble or growths.

Shasta: What is stated about self-expression is very true when it comes to analysing the personality of Trunks (Mirai, that is!). He has trouble expressing himself as he fears he will let down his father, whom he only wishs to make proud. He strives to be the best and to please his father, whom he hero-worships, but his failures are often kept hidden inside, which can lead to it manifesting into rage, which explodes during the transformation to Super Saiyen. I find this named analysis is extremly accurate as Trunks is quite an interesting character and has suffered much turmoil in his life. Now, we will move onto the next character: Vegeta.

Your name of Vegeta gives you the desire to understand and help others with their problems but, at the same time, you can become too involved in their problems and, as a result, worry too much. This name creates a pleasant, easy-going, yet responsible nature. It gives you a natural ability to express affection to those close to you, without feelings of embarrassment

You tend to avoid issues, however, and put off until tomorrow the things which should be done today. Accordingly, you would find difficulty in achieving success in positions requiring aggressiveness and drive. Also, you prefer to avoid strenuous work of a manual nature. Your natural inclination is to pursue a line of work where you have contact with people, where you carry some responsibility, and where you are engaged in mental rather than physical activity. You are diplomatic in your handling of people and always give others the benefit of the doubt. You appreciate good music and art. The health weaknesses created by this name affect the fluid functions.

Shasta: I can't really see Vegeta being the sort of person who desires to help and understand others with their problems, but it's true that he doesn't dwell on other people's problems very long. Vegeta, althought striving to be the very best, has trouble surpassing his rival Goku, which can play havok with his temper, causing his agression. As for engaging in mental activity, I believe Vegeta to have a spiritual side to him that is only ever truly seen in fanfictions. He can quite artist at times too and since he grew up as royality, he was most likely taught to respect the performing arts.

Okay, that's enough about Vegetable-Head! Let's move on to everyone's favorite android….. CELL!

The name Cell gives you a strongly independent and highly creative nature, with drive and ambition to have experiences and accomplish things out of the ordinary.

You can work intently at whatever is new and holds your interest at the moment, but your interest wanes quickly when drudgery and monotony set in. Obstacles to your progress or restrictions on your freedom to act create a sense of frustration which may cause you to feel resentful and even rebellious. You can then become intolerant of others, and caustic and belittling in your expression, thereby imposing stress on your personal relationships. Although you have a clever, quick, capable mind, your progress in life is restricted by instability in your affairs and misunderstandings with people. Your impulsive nature can lead to actions which you later regret taking, or to accidents. Relaxation is elusive, and depletion due to nervous tension can develop to the point where you become subject to moods of depression and morbid thoughts. Nervous tension centres in the solar plexus, with nervous indigestion and stomach ulcers a possible result

Shasta: Well, is'nt this interesting? This analyisis is actually quite accurate, because if you'll observe Cell's goal to achieve perfection, you'll find that he becomes increasingly agitated by anything that prevents him from achieving that goal. As the analyisis also states, he becomes resentful of people who oppose him. This is very true, as he we Cell become increasingly angered by the Z-fighters attempts to stop his quest for perfection. As for moods of depression and morbid thoughts, I can't quite see Cell suffering from depressing, though a likely cause of this (which you will find in some fanfics) is due to the death of his children at the hands of the Z-fighters. I suppose the morbid thoughts would be about all the different ways he can think of to torture his enemys! ^_^ And now, we come to my least favorite character…. Goku… *gag*

The name of Goku makes you very idealistic, sensitive, and inspirational. If these qualities are not understood and properly directed through music, art, or other creative expression, you could become jealous and possessive of those close to you. Your feelings are so strong that you are inclined to build your life around certain individuals and become wrapped up in personal love rather than seeking into the deeper truths of life; thus you could suffer losses in your affections and shattered ideals.

You are generous and people are drawn to you because of your friendly and sympathetic nature. You lack system and order in your life and will often leave your own duties if someone calls upon you for assistance. When you are inspired and feel happy, life seems so wonderful; but you can be just as depressed and unhappy as well, feeling as if everyone is against you. The weakness of this name could create nervous breakdowns, or disorders related to the nervous system.

Shasta: Well, this is pretty bang on the dot too. Goku is forever generous and kind, which is one of the reasons why people like him so much. It's true he does drop everything for the sake of helping others, but at times, he can make those close to him feel left out and unloved. (A classic example of this is Pan's reaction to him leaving to train Ubuu at the end of DBZ) Goku is also quite compassionate with his family, which can sometimes be a slight hinderance on his part, but he's just a simple family man trying to do the right thing, so who can blame him. I still think he's a baka, though! -___- ;; Moving on, our next name analyisis is Bulma.

Your first name of Bulma has made you a patient, meticulous person who enjoys working in a detailed, systematic way. You are determined and deliberate in pursuing your ambitions, but you must work at your own speed. You hate to be hurried or to leave anything unfinished or untidy.

Your infinite patience would allow you to develop intricate, involved skills to perfection. Often feeling burdened with work, you worry about details out of proportion to their importance. Having definite ideas, you are skeptical and do not change easily, for you require proof, preferably in complete detail before you will alter an opinion. Once you are settled into a situation, you do not like to move or make changes.

When on a schedule, you follow it implicitly. Your sense of values emphasizes material things, with little appreciation towards the more artistic, philosophical, or inspirational matters. Health weaknesses of this name affect the stomach and intestinal tract, and could appear as growths or constipation. Arthritis, or rheumatism could result.

Shasta: *laughs* If this a'int proof that Bulma's a work-a-holic, then I'm the world's biggest Goku fan! In the anime, she always wrapped in her latest invention or mulling over paperwork. She can be very stubborn if she does'nt get her way and will rarely tolerate anyone telling her she's wrong. She's something of a perfectionist and always wants to prove that she can strive to the best of her abilitys when creating and inventing things. Now, onwards to Chichi!

Your name of Chichi creates a desire to be of service to others, but its practicality and attention to detail restrict spontaneity. This name creates much frustration, nervous tension, and personal unhappiness because you are not able to realize your ambitions and ideals. You desire your life to be orderly and systematized and you keep your surroundings neat and tidy, but others often see you as fussy over little things.

You are a patient person and you will work hard one step at a time to accomplish your endeavours. You tend to be thorough in building a solid foundation of fact and logic, but are not inclined to pursue inspirational or creative expression as in music or the arts. As you have modest ambitions, you are content to live from day to day and to save for your future. You budget carefully and do not believe in frivolous spending. You appreciate a settled home environment that permits you to show your love for friends and family through what you do for them rather than having to express your feelings in words.

Friction in association could result if you are critical of those who do not live up to your regard for system and detail. Your health could be asffected by disorders affecting the intestinal tract.

Shasta: Well, smack my ass and call me Sugah! This sums up Chichi's personality to a T! Chichi is forever pushing Gohan to fufill her own dreams and desires, wanting him to become a scholar rather than a fighter. She is rather critical of others (such as Piccolo, whom she believes is a hinderance to Gohan's studys) and can't stand to be corrected, which results in her fiery temper and wrath of the frying pan. Still, she only wants what's best for her family, even if she has a scary way of showing it…next up, is Videl.

The name of Videl creates an overly-sensitive nature which causes you to sense and feel far more than you can understand or put into words. You have a deep, artistic, and creative side which shows through a love for music and literature. Writing is a more natural mode of expression for your deeper thoughts and feelings than the spoken word. You have an ability to concentrate and work intently on anything which holds your interest.

However, you prefer to avoid routine, monotony, and mental tasks. You enjoy the out-of-doors and find your greatest peace and relaxation from the beauty and harmony of nature. You prefer to limit your friendships and associations to those who share your interests and appreciate your quiet, refined ways.

Others often find it difficult to understand you. Your feelings tend to build up within you and, if you cannot release them through a creative, constructive channel, you could suffer with frustration, moods, and much inner turmoil. This name causes tension in the region of the solar plexus, as well as the heart and lungs. Health problems would centre in those areas of the body.

Shasta: Hmmmm….it's true Videl can be overly sensitive at times.. (remember how wary she was when she first met Gohan?) But hey, it's in her nature. She was taught to a fighter, which means to be wary of those who could prove potential enemies. Still, she has her moments when she's relaxed and happy, such as when she learns to fly using her inner ki. Often, she'll go through the occasional mood swing, but that's only because people can't seem to grasp her points of views. She very loyal to her friends ( in this case, Gohan) and will always be by their side, no matter how bad things get.

And now for the last name analyisis for today….

….Frieza!

The name of Frieza has made you serious-minded, responsible, and stable. You love the security of a home and family, you are fond of children, and, as a parent you would be fair and understanding.

Although you have good business judgment, you are not aggressive in your dealings because you do not like to create issues. You would be successful in any position dealing with the public as you have a diplomatic and tactful manner and possess a charming, easy-going nature which puts people at ease.

People are drawn to you because they feel that you are patient, kind, understanding, and responsive. You would be effective in a career or in volunteer work where you are handling people and serving in a humanitarian way. While you are honest and responsible, one weakness that is paramount in your life is your lack of self-confidence and initiative, which causes you to put things off and avoid facing issues. Generally speaking, you have few problems with your health; however, there is a weakness affecting the fluid functions of the body.

Shasta: *falls off her chair laughing* Frieza…. Fond of children…easy-going..?! Good gravy, that's the funniest thing I've heard all day. By far, this is the most absurd name analyisis I've ever stumbled upon! Frieza is deffinatly NOT fond of children, nor is he/she/it easy-going and 'charming'. I DEFFINATLY don't see Frieza as the sort to do volunteer work or act in a hmanitarium way! Get real! The only thing Frieza would volunteer for would be to administer cruel and unusual punishment on his/her/it's enemies if they ever pissed him/her/it off!

And on that note of sheer stupidy, I bring my analyisis of the DBZ names to a close. I might update this in the future if the moment takes me, but in the mean time, thank you for reading. Perhaps now, you'll feel enlightened now that you know the story behind the namesakes… if not.. well, I don't really care… Anyways, reviews and critques can be sent to the usual place of the review box. Thank you and goodnight! *waves to the crowd and prances off*
