About the Name Chaim

The crisp and cutting influence of the letter C takes on a more temperate tone -- and distinctly spiritual flavor – when coupled with the hallowed, hushed and holy tones of the letter H. We see this effect in action in the words church, chapel, cherub, chaperone, and chastity. In the only female name in this group, Chloe, the CH’s clement timbre is infused with a laconic and laid-back air thanks to the lilt of the loving and lively letter L.

These are names with a strong inference of moral superiority and may even suggest the image of a self-important youth with a college sweater draped over his or her polo shirt. But this characterization might be little unfair because there’s also an emotionally generous aspect to these people that ultimately comes to define their essence.

Fastidious about their appearance, CH’s like to keep physically fit and are perennially well-groomed (and insist on the same from their partners). The CH’s fondness for petty details can border on the obsessive, and while driving everyone nuts, makes them wonderful doctors, lawyers and accountants. Most people who have worked with CHs, comment on their ability to complete projects with seemingly-little effort. Opinions are divided as to whether this is a symptom of raw talent, or a knack for finding shortcuts.

No one understands how CHs manage to ingratiate themselves with so many people, but perhaps it’s because they studiously avoid conflict and can schmooze like a Hollywood agent. But a word of warning: CHs should not be provoked. They may be patient and hospitable, but they are certainly no pushovers. You are simply not going to impose your will on them, and the sooner you to accept this reality, the fewer headaches you’re going to have. It’s the same in their intimate relationships; if you aren’t willing to pay attention to the niceties of a romance, don’t get involved. And if it’s a casual fling you’re considering; consider flinging elsewhere.

Once settled into a mutually respectful relationship, odds are that the CH will mate for life. With a proclivity for controlling their environments, CHs have a tendency to keep their spouses and children under their thumbs; but it’s an iron fist in a velvet glove kind of thing, and their shrewd minds and smooth tongues are the perfect tools for these kinds of subtle manipulations. Children are the best counterbalance to the CH’s traditionalist tendencies and only the exuberance of youth has a chance of prodding them into a semblance of spontaneity.
