About the Name Glee

The name Glee's root letters are GL.

Whenever the letters G and L occur together in names, they tend to remind us of the glitzy qualities found in the words: gleam, glossy, glamour, glimmer, glib, and glow. Perhaps this explains why those whose names who fall into this category are so often described as having such demonstrative and relaxed personalities. Glees are people who are drawn to the spotlight and relish the attention they get from anyone who’ll listen. If a GL actually had the time to come up with a motto, it would have to be: all the world’s a stage.

It’s hard to pin down the source of the GL’s outgoing effervescence, but many believe it stems from a hunger for attention. But whether or not it’s a reflection of neediness, their frequent hogging of the limelight often proves draining to their close friends. Still, once Glees feel that people are responding to them, they’ll calm down enough to reveal their intricate emotional workings.

Glees are people-pleasers par excellence. They rarely forget someone’s face or name, if they think they might meet them again, and never fail to send birthday or Christmas cards weeks before the event. And lest you think this is just another cry for attention, consider that Glees are simply uncommonly loyal and faithful. They’re also interesting to have around because they have so much to offer in terms of insights into how the universe really works: Glees consider themselves to students of life and spend a great deal of their free-time… just pondering.

The Glees’ career choices are ruled by their creative sides. While these job-selections may not always be financially prudent, Glees are quite happy to live on beans and noodles if it means having the freedom to do as they please. Whatever their chosen careers are, Glees are likely to perform them with the verve that characterizes their existence, unless that is, they get worn down by routine. Glees have a strong distaste for predictability, and when trapped in jobs without sufficient stimulation, are prone to becoming bored and ineffective.

When partnered with the right person, the GL will prove to be an attentive mate whose spontaneous affections add an element of freshness to any relationship. However, the GL’s impatience will rear its moody little head when it can’t have its own way… and any mate who gives a centimeter may lose a kilometer in the process. Marrying a GL doesn’t set the future in stone either, for these incorrigible extroverts are capable of easily forging new ties at any time. It’s all about the GL’s other motto: “till monotony us do part”.
