PeopleFinders Encourages You To Participate In National Celebrate Your Name Week

March 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Sacramento, CA – March 03, 2011 - PeopleFinders.com (http://www.peoplefinders.com/), the premier online service that helps customers find anyone, anywhere joins in the fun of Celebrate Your Name Week from March 6 – 12, 2011. It’s the perfect opportunity to learn more about one of your most important characteristics: your name.



Celebrating Names
Celebrate Your Name Week was established by Jerry Hill in 1997. He created the occasion as a time to learn more about your own name and the names of relatives, friends, coworkers or anyone else. In 2011, Celebrate Your Name Week runs from Sunday March 6 to Saturday March 12. Here are 7 ways to celebrate:



7 Days of Celebrations
Sunday – Namesake Day:
The week kicks off with an invitation to ponder your name. What does it mean? Were you named after another person or a major event? Was your name popular or uncommon the year you were born? Do a little investigation into your own history.

March 6 is also a day to find out how many people share your name. Use PeopleFinders.com to see how many people can also claim your personal title. You may be intrigued by what, or whom you discover.

Monday – Fun Facts Day:
Take time on Monday to learn interesting tidbits about names. Or discover fun and interesting names held by real people. Fans of “The Simpsons” were always thrilled when Bart made his infamous prank calls. Some of the names he used are actually owned by individuals. Spend a little time on PeopleFinders.com looking for names that surprise and entertain. How many fun facts can you find?

Tuesday – Unique Names Day:
Most of us share our names with at least one other person, but a few are unique. Can you think of any names that are exclusive to one person? Run a people search by name to find out for sure.

Wednesday – Learn What Your Name Means Day:
Etymology is the study of how words originated. Learning the source of a word gives you a better idea of what it means. On March 9, investigate the origin of your name to find out more about why it was given to you.

Thursday – Also Known As Day:
Most people are always known by their birth name, but some take on new titles over time. Whether a person creates their own alias or has a nickname bestowed upon them, it’s a genuine way to identify an individual.

Did you know you can search for people using an AKA? If the person you hope to find uses a nickname regularly, chances are good it will be available on PeopleFinders.com. Try searching for people using a name, AKA or maiden surname.

Friday: Middle Name Pride Day:
The middle name doesn’t always get the attention it might deserve. March 11 is dedicated to the name in the center that helps make up your identity. Jerry Hill suggests divulging your middle name to at least three people who never heard it before.

A middle name can also help you find a person faster. Especially if you’re looking for someone with a common name. The next time you do a people search, include their middle initial for better results.

Saturday – Genealogy Day:
We can learn a lot about ourselves by learning about our ancestors. Wrap up Celebrate Your Name Week by researching your family tree. It’s more than a hobby; it’s the study of everyone who helped make you what you are today.

Want a great way to learn about your ancestry? Use PeopleFinders.com to lookup relatives who have stories, photos and heirlooms that can’t be found on any website. Happy hunting and happy Celebrate Your Name Week!
