Something magical happens when the aristocratic letter A teams up with the vital, virile, voluptuous letter V. The combination implies the uncommon strength and spunk found in the words anvil, activist, advisor, avuncular, achieve and avalanche, and there’s really no danger that AV personalities will be perceived as stagnant or boring. And true to their incisive A-name personas, AVs are always on the lookout for opportunities to flaunt the plumage of their vital personalities. Some of these fine peacocks tone down their pride when choosing to end their names with the high-pitched Y or IE note (Alvie or Alvy), when they surrender some of their dignity for a more laid-back impression.
However they choose to present themselves, AVs are always pushing new boundaries and sating their appetite for the unusual. Nothing is off-limits to these people, and in many ways AVs are classic explorers: they are usually the first to try the new Ethiopian restaurant down the street or take that exotic overseas vacation.
AVs love working with their hands and bodies, and are perhaps the most expert among the A-names at turning their hobbies into careers. Carpentry, design, dancing, creative writing and music are all possible avenues for the AVs to turn a little profit, and a significantly high percentage of AVs end up as small business owners and entrepreneurs.
AVs believe communication to be the secret of a successful relationship, and feel quite free to point out their mate’s shortcomings. While it’s true that some AVs can go a little overboard in this regard, no one would ever accuse them of having a mean bone in their bodies. Insensitive? Yes. But always with the best interests of their partner at heart. It doesn’t hurt to have a steady stream of jokes attractively coupled to a charismatic, self-assured personality.
Most people can’t resist an AV once they’ve turned on the charm. But friendly and approachable as they are, people still comment on the elusiveness of the AVs when it comes to love, marriage and baby carriages. In fact one may want to retract elusive and go straight to averse or downright repelled. It’s not that they don’t love love, mind you, (for these are true sensualists who adore the idea of romance); it’s just that they’re not the settling-down types. They’d rather leave the mysteries of marriage and procreation to those with nothing better to do.
