Don't go to a fortune teller. Find out what your name means. That will tell you all you need to know.
Here, I looked it up:
"Friend of strength" from Greek φιλος (philos) "friend, lover" and μενος (menos) "strength". This was the name of an obscure early saint and martyr. The name came to public attention in the 19th century after a tomb seemingly marked with the name Filumena was found in Rome, supposedly belonging to another martyr named Philomena. This may have in fact been a representation of the Greek word φιλομηνη (philomene) meaning "loved".
Cool.
What does your name mean?
English cognate of the Latin Aemilia, which is from Aemilius, an old Roman family name probably derived from aemulus (trying to equal or excel, rival).
