When a name begins with the excitable, emotional letter E, its bearer usually projects a great deal of enthusiasm and effervescence. The appearance of the letter L (the flagship of life, laughter, liberty, learning and love) and the nurturing (if somewhat negative) letter N adds an air of thoughtful introspection. All told, the ELN letter combination conspires to produce names that bespeak of emotive, generous, and decidedly animated individuals.
A number of ELNs report a strong attraction to bright colors, which is why their clothing and cars are unlikely to be in subtle shades… a preference that parallels their cheerful and colorful personalities. With their deeply rooted sense of self-assurance, ELNs won’t stand for being ignored and will do almost anything to keep from being sidelined. if you’re going to a party, don’t be surprised to find an ELN hogging the limelight. Admittedly, they don’t haveto work very hard to attract attention; the spotlight often just seems to follow them around.
Lurking just beneath the ELNs’ extroverted surface is an innate tenderness that draws them into the artistic and nurturing professions. These are right-brained individuals who are attracted toward musical and dramatic careers, or jobs that involve creativity and dealings with the public. Nothing depresses an ELN more than being confined to an office job in which their interactions with people are limited. ELNs are usually respectful toward authority, but their unwillingness to take their work too seriously often leads to clashes with corporate-minded bosses. So when ELNs insist on starting their own businesses, you should pay attention and buy shares if you can. When sufficiently motivated, ELNs are competitive business people whose fortunes are almost guaranteed.
Although this name root is shared by a significant percentage of men, the ELN letter combination has a distinctly feminine essence and ELNs tend to be responders -- rather than initiators -- when it comes to their relationships, This means that their social circle generally chooses them, rather than the other way around, but it doesn’t mean that ELNs are any less proud of their eclectic friends who they loyally nurture and emotionally sustain.
Still, ELNs are not always lucky in love and many endure the pain of a few false starts before they finally settle down with their permanent mates. They might claim that these failed relationships stem from their unwillingness to hurt others, but those who really know them suspect that it’s simply another expression of their need for drama and attention.
