The crisply sharp pronunciation of names beginning with the letter C suggests an individual with a candid and clear-headed approach to life. But there are forces at work in the CND name root that lend a gently egalitarian feel to this otherwise sharp letter. When the nurturing qualities of the (usually negative) letter N and dignified letter D combine, they form the basis for the gracious overtones in the words fond, kind, mend, friend, bland, Godsend and garland. Perhaps this is why virtually all names containing an ND combination belong to women.
Those who bear CND names inspire respect (never fear) with their straightforward attitudes, and adamantly refuse to back down from good arguments. But there’s always a hint of chaos looming in the CNDs’ lives: they’re as unpredictable as the Dow Jones. They just can’t be bothered with making the same old schedules every day, or for that matter, any schedule at all. Still, CNDs are detail-oriented women with a tendency to become irritated when people suggest shortcuts or try to give them how-to advice. Outside interference, no matter how well intentioned, is simply not appreciated.
Consistent with their laissez-faire philosophy, CNDs will steer clear of controlling the lives of her friends and family. And since CNDs love the element of surprise, hardly a celebration goes by in which they’re not actively involved. CNDs also make perfect rally leaders and their impulsive energies can be hard to resist once they’ve glommed onto a new idea. This cheerleading style makes them an ideal people for drawing attention to a project. CNDs take great pride in their personal appearance, dress in contemporary styles, and -- as their families will attest -- spend way too much time primping in the bathroom. So if you have a CND as your hairdresser, masseuse or palm reader; chances are you’re going to be spoiled.
CND’s are not above an occasional drama-queen performance -- especially when they fail to monitor their emotions, which have a tendency to overheat. If you want to short-circuit these moods, don’t try ignoring them. Bite the bullet and give them the attention they’re really asking for. Still, since 90% of the CNDs’ energies are spent on others, no one can begrudge them the occasional self-indulgent rants.
In their romantic lives, CNDs are drawn to men who make them feel feminine. Because they have enough power in their professional and social lives, they don’t want to be the ones wearing the pants at home as well. CND marriages are typically stormy for the first few years, before settling into a gentle rhythm when both parties have worked out the relationship’s hierarchy.
