Anybody know the first names their PLs?

I have usually found names given to me in a dream meningful - in a PL sense.

I hope you remember the full name and find out who that was. :thumbsup:

I had a dream like that once, and the name or word PASHA came through.
I believe it's turkish. nothing else came through.
 
Starchild,

Pasha means Easter in Russian - and also in Amenian, possibly in some other languages from that area too. We have the word also in Finnish but here it means a (Russian) creamy dessert you have at Easter.

This made me wonder because I just read about your dream about Russian Vladimir... Is there a connection, what do you think?

Karoliina
 
Starchild ~ Pasha is a derivative name from Russian name Pavel and some rarer female names, but only if the first A is stressed. If it is the second it is a turkish word for some military (I think) rank. I would spell Russian word for Easter as Paskha, as SH stands for two separate sounds in that word. Hope I didn't confuse you :)
 
How would we address our past lives e.g., by name?

Hello,

How would we most often address past lives; by first name? first and last name? the "old me?" or would we simply say "when I once was a...........?"

What types of reference would we be most apt to use? Using full or even first names may be well...akward for some people. I would say I felt I once was named.....occupation, interests, family, location, and time period.

Thank-you
 
Hi Marc,

For me, it depends who I'm talking to, how well they know me and how much I've told them about my memories.

For those who don't know me, I tend to include both name and country... "When I was Nicola and lived in Italy." Sometimes it's "In Kilkenny in 1640 when I was Sarah Roberts."

If I know the person fairly well, I may just say "When I lived in Boston" or "When I lived in Wales."

If I'm explaining something to someone who knows me intimately -- then I tend to approach it like "More about Anyana," or "In Jessica's life." More like talking about a mutual old friend...:laugh:

Hope that helps,

Ailish
 
Before I talk about past lives with anyone, I first would ask:do you believe in reincarnation?
It depends on the answer how much I reveal.
If I've discussed this subject before then I would say: in my last life, or when I lived in London...
Sometimes I use my (past life) first name, but only if the other knows what I'm talking about.
Otherwise they might think I talk about my new boyfriend ;)

I refer to her as Oda Estermann. I make no bones about the fact that I believe in reincarnation and that I have strong memories of that life, so I don't care if some less enlightened people think I'm "110% loon" (as someone from a board I no longer post on put it on a board a lot of other members apparently thought was behind my back and therefore thought they could get away with ridiculing and trashing me for what I've written on my website about reincarnation, and many other topics) for having detailed memories and believing in reincarnation. I wouldn't discuss the matter with people I know don't believe in it anyway.
 
I've lately discussed reincarnation with a friend who doesn't believe in reincarnation.
But he's always open to an interesting discussion, so I just tried: what do you think?
And what do you think of this dream?
I didn't share any shocking or painful memories.
I just wanted to find out if he had any memories himself.
Because he looks so much like someone from my past life dreams.
I think he's more open now to the idea.
And somehow I expect he will bring up the subject again.
Because he was there, I know it :)

I ran across this old thread and thought it was very interesting. I especially like the way that having people talk about their previous names let them open up about so much more about themselves. I thought some of the newer members (including myself) might like to share not only what their prior names were, but how they remembered them and also how knowing that name makes them feel.


Let me begin. The only name that I am certain about is Rafael from a life in Argentina from about 1900 to the 1950s. While my name was Rafael I was called Rafa and by at least one person Rafi. I remembered the name while using regression tapes in which I have heard several people calling me this. I especially have memories of one very close friend in that life (whose name I remember as Miguel) calling me Rafi several times. As to this life, I have an idea as to my last name, but I am not 100% certain about it, so I’ll hold off on that information. Knowing this name has made me happy and feel somewhat at peace. It is as if as I can now put a name to this person that I once was, I can really get to know him better.


As to other names from the past, Rafael is really the only one that I have explored to a great extent. I do however have flashes of another life. In these flashes, I am a young boy (13 or so) and my friends call me something like “Taba” or “Tah-Bah.” I am not 100% sure of what they are saying. As I say they are only flashes. I am unsure of where or when this life was, although I think it was anywhere in a band from today's Turkey to northern India. In the flashes I am sitting with other boys learning to recite the Qur’an in Arabic but I am certain that Arabic is not my first language.
 
I only know one past life name. I had gone to a group recession with a friend. She fell asleep but it seemed to work for me.


I was 5 years old sitting on the floor playing jacks in the entryway of a large old home. I was asked where I was and I answered in my mind...Maryland. I was asked my name and I replied "Marnie" He asked what my father did. I said "He is a doctor" He asked the name and I answered Dr. Francis Phelps. As I answered that a man came into the front door dressed all in gray ...his topcoat had a short cape. He paid me no attention,,,,just walked past.


The scene switched and I was hovering at the side of the road watching a carriage approaching. It was black with a black horse. A man and woman were inside...both dressed in black. She had a high necked dress and her hair was upswept. He wore a black suit and a top hat. I floated into the back seat and it ended


I found the good Dr. in Cambridge Maryland....born 1799...died 1886. He also had a son Dr. Francis Phelps... I am presently trying to find any record of Marnie. I think she had died at 6 and it was me in spirit watching my parents going to my funeral. That was my impression anyway.


The dream of the young man klled by an elephant...He was alone and full of fear and anxiety. Scene switched to him submerged in beautiful blue water with bubbles coming up around him so he knew he was not alone. As he surfaced and climbed onto a large rock, he realized he was now a girl...


Last one was a cave woman drawing on a wall in a dimly lite cave. She was away from the others and her mind was very consentrated on rubbing berry juice onto the head (face) of the drawing. I remember saying "when they see the face they will know that I drew this person while they were alive"


I awoke saying "if you go there today you can find the berries....they are still there petrified on the floor" Extremely vivid dream. I really felt it was me.
 
I've posted in this thread YEARS ago... Nowadays I often see patterns when it comes to PL first names. Mine most commonly have started with "K" or "C", and sometimes with "A", but there are also other letters.

During the little scene (could def. just be my imagination) in the "If regression feels like making it up" post, I asked myself what my name was, but I didn't force it. The one I got was Nihari. I thought I was in China, and the name is not Chinese. However, it is the name of a popular dish in India, which is right next door to China. I believe Nihari and Nehari are used as girl names, sometimes, also.....but maybe just the latter. Nihar is also a name, but it is apparently, traditionally a boy's name, and I was female.
 
I do not know any of my previous names. But I feel intuitively drawn to M and N as a first letter ... being an N now. I notice others with the similar pattern of the same repititions between lives.


I know that in our language there is a link with the sounds of the language and music with feelings. I used sound healing a wee bit and would spend time in meditaions on different vowels.. with some good results.


Maybe some connections to the pattern of our lives with how we chose our names??
 
In my last pastlife I was "Barbara Conway". Then; Jehanne`, Jacob Bradfield- a Civil War black soldier. The others are only a first name or none at all; Gretchen, Fabrizio, Ahmemset, Peter, Ogla, Talah, Hannah, Jutiawa, and Washeteka. I've seen more than 40 lifetimes but these are the only names I have.

I have been asking myself this question lately, and have come to the conclusion that my name has been Jennie or Jeni, pronounced the same, in one of my most rescent past lives. At first I was confused because in this life my name is Jennifer, oftin called Jeni. But I'm sure that I have been Jeni before, in fact I think I changed my name to Jennie because I disliked my given name, posibly Sarah Jane. Also I have been Billy, origanilly William of course, but never Bill, it sounded to old to me. And I have always responded to Pepper, the name my cousin gave me when we she first learned to talk. I am 10 months younger than her. She had no reason to call me that, but she did and was insitant about it. I do have one thought, not really a memory, more like a snapshot, of myself as Sarah Jane/ Jennie. I am in a kitchen, looking in from the back porch. To the left is the kitchen counter with the sink with a hand pump for water. In the right courner is my grandaughter sitting on a three legged red stool, playing with her imaginary friends. I sit down at the table drinking tea and watching her quietly play, wishing she had real life play mates. When I was done with the tea, I read the leaves. Satisfied with what I saw I start to get up, and that is where it ends.
 
Names


I have memory of many, many LT and names.


One is Mathilde Weiler - I know the whole thing.


Had left home very young and was secretive. I even dyed my hair at that time, due to my profession. What I did find on the internet is missing information that I know to be true. I am thinking of writing a short story about this one, but still collecting info.


When I was little I loved the song "Waltzing Matilda". Never knew why til about age 45.
 
There are two lives that I'm sure of the name. They are both female lives. I lived in 16th century France and was named Caroline. The other was my most recent life and my name was Karen.
 
It's a very interesting thread!


I pay much attention to names, but I remember only few of them yet. Mary, Louise (my favourite one, but not the life :) ), Anne (for many times), Franak, Phillip, Charles (french, my husband). Surname from Ancient Rome - Murena (some very important relative for me).
 
I wish I could- I've thought that I've come close, but owing to the fact that I died in the holocaust and have yet to nail down a solid location where I lived and near where I died, I have no vague idea what my name might have even been. Sometimes, when I look on Yad Vashem a name sounds similar, then there's a photo and I know it's not me. One of the few things I know for sure is what I looked like, because I've seen myself reflected in windows and in a tiny fragment of a mirror in memories. I saw a picture of someone I was sure was my grandfather (whom I adored-) once, but then I thought I must just be grasping at straws. The likelihood that it was even my grandfather was very slim. I guess I talk myself down a lot- it's possible that it could have been him. Long story short- I have my mind- my memories, and strong inclinations and feelings. But nothing else.


In the case of other lives, a name I've always had a strong reaction to is Kate. I hate when Kates refer to themselves as Katies, because it sounds silly and modern to me. When I think of myself as a Kate, I see something in the Empire Era- early eighteen hundreds england, somewhere in the Country looking v. v. Pride and Prejudice lite.
 
Rudi in my most recent past life.


Valdemar or something like it in my life in the middle ages.


When I talk about my past lives I don't say, "When I was Rudi", I usually say "When I was in WWII" or "When I was a pilot".
 
I don't know my name in any of my past lives. I once was slightly regressed and thought my name in London during Victorian times was Sarah Elizabeth but I'm not so sure of that.


However I am absolutely SURE that my son's name during that same time period was James. I think it was the same life but I'm not sure. I think it was the same time period/general location. It feels totally real and right that his name was James. I'm not so sure about my own name.
 
Yes, I know my names from many of my lives. In my last life during the Holocaust my name was Bett, and in my life in Victorian Britain it was Jane Townsend, my life in Colonial America it was Peter Jacobs, and my life in Kenya it was Kinstay. I had a life in France before that but I am not sure what my name was then.. and my life in Moravia, the life before that, I was a minister named Pavel. That is what I know so far.
 
Hi everyone!


I like this topic!


I'm not great with names. Sometimes they come to me as clear as water, but mostly I have trouble remembering them.


I remember one life when my name was Kate, short for Caitriona, another when my name was Elisabeth, though my beloved called me Lissie many times. I remember another life, here in Portugal, when my name was Madalena.


There are others, but these names are the ones that sound as clear in my mind as they did then!


:)
 
The only one I remember of mine is from my Colonial America life, Phoebe, and that of a friend's during the same time, Jacob.


;)
 
I rememeber one of my PL names: Niccole or Nicole. I was a lady, apparently in a good economical status in St Peterburgh. But I don't have any surname at all.


Then, once I had a regression and I hear soemone calling for Richard very loudly. That scream made me wake up from my relaxed state. My heart was pumpering strongly, but I can't remember anything about that name.
 
I remember my names, but would rather not divulge all of them for the time being. I do think names tend to follow a pattern ... for example I think that some souls like fancy, frilly names, some like short, earthy names, etc. In my studies and "personal experience" that tends to be the case, anyway. In my case I like unadorned, short, but somewhat musical names.
 
Hiya,


What a great topic!

'Valdemar' is the Scandinavian (or perhaps just generally germanized) version of Vladimir. In Denmark it's a royal name historically and was used only by the royal family and noble families. In Danish history we have three kings by that name (Valdemar) in the middle ages and lots of princes, both medieval and later (just last sunday a Danish prince was christened Valdemar as one of his names).


Just thought it was a fun mention, because it's not a name you often see references too.


In my most recent past life I think my name was Jamie (James) - that is the name that pops up whenever I picture that life. In the life before that my name was Julia. Other names on past life personalities are (in random order as I can remember): Nikolas (monk, 1300's), Meredith (also medieval), Anna (1500's) and Lily (1800's). I know the names of a few other PL personas, but I can't remember them right now unfortunately :rolleyes:

What is wrong with divulging past-life names? The people you would name are literally dead.
