About the Name Gethsemane

Names beginning with the letter J are usually associated with people who are sensible and judicious. But it’s also true that names that feature the letter S (or Z) in close proximity to the letter N trigger a cautionary reaction. For when the S combines with the nasal N, it creates the off-putting tones found in the words snarl, snide, sneer, snake, snivel, snoop and sniper. These are the kinds of people who, while coming across as poised and rational, are usually dealing with powerful undercurrents of emotional tumult.

JSNs are known for their sensitivity to what they consider to be life’s little injustices. And since JSNs aren’t the kind of people to contain themselves in the face of perceived unfairness, they will rally to the aid of complete strangers if they believe they can make a difference. The problem is that they often find themselves reacting purely emotionally -- rather than giving matters due thought – and this gives them a reputation for hot-headedness. But if you happen to be a friend of a JSN, you’ll appreciate this super-hero rescue syndrome.

In their social lives, JSNs are the quintessential coffee-shop types who thrive on the company of close friends and stimulating conversation. They are terminally inquisitive people – particularly when it comes to the dynamics of their social groups – and are always ahead of the gossip curve. This natural curiosity proves useful in their careers and many JSNs are drawn to jobs that enable them to them to acquire even more knowledge. It wouldn’t be surprising to find them becoming marine biologists, scientists, or professors, but they’re just as happy as entrepreneurs, salespeople and computer boffins. Many JSNs have a talent for art and music, but because they consider making a good living more important than job satisfaction, these skills usually aren’t given an opportunity to flower. Nothing unnerves them more than an underwhelming bank balance.

In their intimate relationships, JSNs follow a strict personal code of honor and are the kinds of people who’ll treat you with absolute respect rather than unrestrained passion. So if you’re considering a JSN for a possible love match, don’t expect to be swept off your feet; their style of wooing is quite subtle and they’ll slowly grow on you instead. This is not uncommon for people whose names begin with a J… they simply aren’t the most animalistic species in the zoo.

But if you’re the kind of person with a little patience -- and a willingness to overlook some imperfections – you’ll find your JSN to be a real mensch. Just remember that while you’re making up your mind, your JSN may well be reconsidering you.
