The incisive letter A dominates the AL names and imbues them with all the qualities of an aristocratic and authoritarian essence. And like most names beginning with the letter A, AL names are associated with individuals who have a strong, no-nonsense approach to life and healthy egos. But the appearance of the lyrical letter L (learning,life, love, liberty and laughter) rescues these names from hyper-egotism; suggesting people who are altruistic, alert, alive, and even a little bit aloof.
The dual themes of strength and joie de vivre dominate the Als’ lives. They are the types who steal the thunder at parties with their smart and jocular styles, but when lost in their passion for story-telling, ALs often lose track of their audiences’ needs. After the first hour of listening to the AL's life story, even the most determined listeners will tire. But if they have a real flaw, it’s their tendency to take on more than they can handle. Still, they are nothing if not enthusiastic in their approach to life, and whether it’s in the workplace or in their personal lives, these go-getters will overcome problems with twice the energy and half the hassle of their counterparts.
ALs are surprisingly thin-skinned, and harsh words affect them more than they are willing to admit. So expect to be occasionally surprised by a temperamental snarl here and there, especially when you inadvertently penetrate their shell of self-confidence. There’s a profoundly sensitive soul under that blustery surface that needs a great deal of nurturing, and only once it’s been revealed, will you discover the AL’s true potential for connectedness and caring.
In the workplace, the Als’ tactful political skills allow them to take charge of situations without steamrolling others in the process. Diplomacy, expressiveness, and sincerity may well be marks of the AL’s leadership style, but for all their apparent geniality, they also exhibit the aloofness common to names beginning with the autocratic letter A.
AL’s place a high priority on sharing and honest communication when it comes to matters of the heart. Consequently, you can expect your AL mate to be both affectionate and loyal… even if they’re sometimes going to be a little pushy. Romance from such quarters will be a high-energy affair but a treat for anyone who loves to be loved without limits.
