The justice-loving letter J imbues names with a sense of forthrightness and ethical values. And because the letter L is the flagship of the best things that money can’t buy (love, life, liberty, learning and laughter), these are people who live their lives with a strong respect for tradition and always have time to smell the roses. It must be said, however, that the negative letter N (no, not, never, null, nothing, nada, and naught) is an important component of these names and will probably express itself in the JLNs’ occasional bouts of pessimism and irritability.
JLNs are undeniably intelligent and they put a lot of effort into looking the part. Appearance is very important to them and it would be unusual to find one shlumping around in anything but neatly pressed clothes. Even when they’re in mufti on their days off, their outfits are likely to be fashionably grungy.
JLNs also have a strong sense of self-worth and expect to be listened to even when they have nothing to say. Fortunately these are interesting people with well-honed conversational skills and usually have novel perspectives on everything from politics to religion to science. Debates are verbal sparring matches in which it’s in everyone’s best interests for the JLN to emerge victorious.
When it comes to their careers JLNs will put aside their secret dreams to be artists or musicians and buckle down to make some serious money. Not that anyone would accuse them of being greedy, but they do understand the value of a dollar and its importance to their families. Many JLNs enter into some kind of entrepreneurial venture in which – even after a few missteps – they’re likely to succeed. But it’s almost certain that no matter what job JLN end up accepting, they are going to rise to the top. Even when JLNs choose not to work, odds are, they’re going to be the best homemakers since RuPaul.
It’s in matters of the family that the JLN really shines, for like most J-named people, JLNs resonate strongly with the notion that blood is thicker than water. But this doesn’t mean that the JLN is a soft touch when it comes to family handouts; they know that a tough-love approach is sometimes best.
If JLN marriages seem to work so well, it’s not because they’re the easiest people to live with. Rather it’s because they’re willing to put in the level of work that durable marriages require. These are proud people who feel that the best way to measure a person’s character is by the quality of his or her relationships. and they cannot abide having their own character’s questioned.
