When one examines words that begin with the DR phoneme, one finds an astonishing number of these adjectives have some kind of reference to dark and ominous traits: drek, drudgery, droop, drivel, drab, drown, drubbing, drug, drag, dragon, drama, etc. These gloomy overtones account for the fact that there are no names in the U.S. (with the exception of Drew) that begin with a DR without a vowel appearing between the two letters. Fortunately, these ominous associations don’t survive the addition of the loving, laughing, liberating letter L, which confers upon these names a relaxed gentility and thoughtful overtones. While we expect these individuals to be sober, dependable and clear-headed, there’s a loving and inventive side that’s almost always on display.
DRLs’ apply their natural charms and parley their sense of humor to keep them in the spotlight. And though it can be taxing to constantly be the center of attention, DRLs pull it off remarkably well. In fact, DRLs tend to thrive under pressure and use it to keep themselves motivated. This might explain the famous DRL procrastination; consciously leaving things to the last minute is their way of making sure things get done properly. DRLs also have a penchant to try new things, and an unchallenged DRL will likely end up on the couch with a bag of potato chips, channel-surfing aimlessly. Buoyed by their multi-faceted talents, DRLs will often change careers in midstream just to see if the grass is really greener on the other side.
Dating or marrying DRLs can be a treat if you don’t mind sharing your partner with their wide circle of eclectic friends. DRLs are always in demand in the social arena and require a flexible, non-possessive mate who is prepared to actively participate in their rich personal and professional lives. Sharing the DRLs’ interests and, more importantly, lavishing lots of praise on their accomplishments, is the key to romancing these energetic sprites.
Don’t expect to settle down anytime soon though, because even though DRLs respond well to intimacy, they are loath to relinquish their independence. Consequently, successful long-term relationships will have to have enough room for DRLs to breathe. Similarly, since children represent an even higher level of restriction to their freedoms, DRLs often take time to become accustomed to the idea of parenthood. But once children arrive on the scene, DRLs will accept their parental roles with the same can-do style as they live the rest of their lives.
