As the definitive symbol of boisterous belligerence, when the letter B teams up with the romantic, ruddy and randy letter R, it takes on the brash qualities found in the words brazen, brave, brilliant, brutal, brawn, and braggart. But under the influence of the nurturing qualities of the letter N and the dignified letter D, these names gain the air of soft familiarity that we find in the words; friend, fond, blend, garland and slender. To further moderate the effects of the aggressive B, many women elect to end their names with the high-pitched tones of the Y or I (Brandy and Brandi), whichinjects a distinctly more approachable and feminine tone.
Complex names usually mean complex personalities and BRNDs are no exception. This high-energy group is poised, persistent and intelligent, and includes some of the steadiest and most loyal friends you’ll ever encounter. These are people who will put aside their own needs in the service of others and who feel a duty to protect and nurture those around them. However, their steady natures do not preclude the occasional flare-up of passions; BRNDs have a fiery underbelly that often manifests itself in times of stress.
Whatever a BRND decides to do, you can bet it’ll be done with finesse and dedication: potential employers are often able to sense this from a single interview. But BRNDs are freelancers at heart, and no nine-to-five job will ever completely satisfy these feisty souls. As long as they’re feeling intellectually or creatively challenged, they prove to be perfect for careers in design, sales, or writing. BRNDs are not political animals. They don’t understand why anyone would play games to get ahead when all it should take is hard work and straightforward discussion.
BRNDs are not people who know how to lose gracefully – in part because they simply don’t have much experience in losing. The only thing that BRNDs are not good at, is figuring out the motivations of the opposite sex. It’s not that they don’t have good communication skills; it’s simply that they struggle to connect with feelings that they themselves have not actually experienced. But what BRND s lack in empathy is more than compensated for by a beguiling charm that can be turned on like a faucet. It’s hard not to get swept off your feet when a BRND deems you worthy, but since these are not the world’s most romantic people, don’t expect fireworks in the bedroom. BRNDs would rather put their energies into the practical issues of life: career, income, and walking the dog.
