Virgil - Symbolism

Here I go on about various things about Virgil which may or may not interest you. If it's the latter, tough luck.

Name Meanings

According to Babynames.com, "Luis" is the Spanish form of "Louis", which is a name of German origin meaning "Famous Warrior". Virgil means "Strong".

According to Kabalarians:

  1. While the name Luis creates the urge to be self-expressive and dramatic, we emphasize that it limits self-expression and friendly congeniality with a moody disposition.
  2. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the liver, bloodstream, heart, lungs and bronchial area.
  3. The name of Luis has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature.
  4. You sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at your thoughts and wonder about their origin.
  5. You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control.

For compare-and-contrast purposes, I'll also try "Louis":

  1. Although the name Louis creates idealism and the urge to help others, we emphasize that it limits your versatility and scope, tuning you to technical details.
  2. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the nervous system, and elimination system.
  3. While your name of Louis gives you an intense desire to be of service to others, it brings out a practical, technical nature, and you become involved in fussy little details that detract from the fulfilment of your greater ideals.
  4. You are a very patient person and will work hard one step at a time to accomplish your goals.
  5. Not interested in large undertakings, you are content to live from day to day to save for your future.
  6. Always budgeting carefully, you do not believe in frivolous spending.
  7. You tend to be thorough in building a solid foundation of fact and logic, but you are not especially imaginative or investigative.

Interestingly enough, Virgil was given the E.S. Naphtali. Translated, the name Naphtali means "My Struggle". Not only is it a tribe of Israel, the name is similar to Hitler's book, Mein Kampf, which also translates to the same meaning. Considering how Hitler treated the Jews as something less than human, one could draw parallels between that and how Virgil treats Realians.

The Color Blue

Here are some interesting things about the color blue I found around the Internet.

Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.

Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness. In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and sincerity.

You can use blue to promote products and services related to cleanliness (water purification filters, cleaning liquids, vodka), air and sky (airlines, airports, air conditioners), water and sea (sea voyages, mineral water). As opposed to emotionally warm colors like red, orange, and yellow; blue is linked to consciousness and intellect. Use blue to suggest precision when promoting high-tech products.

Blue is a masculine color; according to studies, it is highly accepted among males. Dark blue is associated with depth, expertise, and stability; it is a preferred color for corporate America.

Avoid using blue when promoting food and cooking, because blue suppresses appetite. When used together with warm colors like yellow or red, blue can create high-impact, vibrant designs; for example, blue-yellow-red is a perfect color scheme for a superhero.

Light blue is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness.
Dark blue represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness.
