Meaning of Names: Kabalarians
Matt Yamato
The first name of Matt creates an intense personal nature.(He's probably the most intense character such a role, personality and history.) Your feelings and emotional desires are strong and consequently you are an individual, determined, strong-willed person. ('Consequently'? There's nothing wrong with that! Being determined and strong-willed are great traits! Do they know what they're saying?) Your creative nature and ambition drive you to pursue success to the extent that you jeopardize your personal well-being. There is a tendency for you to dominate others. (Well, kinda, maybe... yes. *reminisces past episodes* ) You are too certain of yourself, and you are not open to the views of others or responsive to their desires or needs. Also, this name does not incorporate qualities that enable you to be diplomatic and to compromise. (A diplomat?) In all your work and activities you are inclined to be rather unsystematic and disorderly. These characteristics spoil stability, progress, and accumulation, even though you may put forth intense effort. Tension and frustration exact a heavy toll on your peace of mind and nervous system. (Yup. And it was made worse by a talking tree...) You are often preoccupied with the desires and demands of the moment. Temper and indulgence could become serious problems in your life. (Let's hope it doesn't get too serious. I want the happy-go-lucky, aloof Matt back! Wah!) Your health could suffer through disorders affecting the nervous system. Tension centering in the head could affect the eyes, ears, sinuses, and teeth. (Since when do we focus on teeth on an animated character?) Your name of Yamato indicates qualities of a leader and organizer but a difficulty in concentrating and systematizing your efforts interferes with achieving your goals. (Ah, a leader and organizer.) You desire a good standard of living and the best quality in all your material possessions.(Ah, Yamato is going the right direction. Yama WAS always sensible. ^^) You have a friendly nature, well-liked by others for your sense of humor and pleasant personality and you love parties and socializing in general.(See, now this is what I'm talking about!! Positive, positive, positive!! *squeezes Yama Plushie*) You could be musically or artistically inclined and may often be the "life" of the party and would enjoy finding expression in the entertainment field. (Oh Yamato, I love ya!! The life of the party!! *squeals with delight*) You have a pleasure-loving nature, and although you have an ability to meet and mix with people on all levels, you tend to become involved in awkward emotional situations to your detriment. (See, now you know why he possesses the Crest of Friendship. "Pleasure-loving nature." I like the way that sounds.)  Deriving pleasure from giving to others, you enjoy spending money on them, but tend to be a spendthrift, and not build up a reserve for emergencies. (What?) You have a good appetite, and appreciate the best and richest foods. (Mmmm... yummy. Now I know why Yama is a cook.) For this reason, you could possibly suffer with an over-heated bloodstream, which in turn affects the skin, causing rashes and eczema. (*sweatdrop* Great, all that positive stuff, and here's bad things which he'll get from eating.)
My Final Comments: I'd have to say that I like 'Yamato' better. It's much more positive, doncha think? ^_^ The only part that I don't get is how they could come up with stuff like eczema from just a name. O_o
Matt  Survey

Yes, there is a survey about the name. Cool, eh? Anyhoo, I got this from a VERY official name site. It's a survey which lots of people have taken on what they think of the name 'Matt.'

52% are Female  (Female??)

Matt's most likely age would be:

Now, it's time for the characteristics part, which is my favorite. ^^ I will just post the winning characteristic, so I won't have to give the percentage. Remember, these are the real results, just to let ya know. ^_~
