Irving is a male name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 10,000 people named Irving in the US today.
The name Irving's root letters are IV.
The V is the unmistakable icon of both male and feminine sexuality, and its virile power can be seen in the words: vestal virgins, virtuous, vanquish, virgin, virtue, vixen, vamp, Venus and Viagra. And when the valiant V occurs in names initialized by the introspective and intelligent letter I, it evokes a person of extraordinary ardor and the street smarts to pull it off. Assertive, but never heavy-handed, Irvings know exactly what they want out of life and have few scruples about getting it. But these aren’t the type of people who have to resort to underhanded tactics or throwing their weight around; their personalities are so compelling that most people seem happy to help them out.
The IV is going to be the dominant force in both their professional lives and in their relationships. Even these people’s employers will learn to stay their good side, for they recognize the motivating effects that an IV can have on the rest of the workers. And when Irvings arenot happy with conditions at work, they will have no compunction about resigning and going into business for themselves.
The IV is capable of making and maintaining close relationships, provided their partners meet their high standards. And don’t think the IV is going to cut you any slack when it comes to your contribution to the relationship: you’ll have to earn their respect and you will be periodically evaluated. Because status is so important to the Irvings, they like to surround themselves primarily with worldly and successful individuals. But beware. Even if you’ve been accepted into the Irvings’ inner circle, there’ll usually be an undercurrent of competitiveness in your relationship with them.
As with most Alpha males and females, Irvings have expressive faces that unconsciously convey whatever emotions they happen to be feeling. So while you’ll always know what’s going on inside their hearts, the downside is that Irvings will make no attempt to convey what they’re thinking. So intimacy with Irvings can be a little tricky -- and even a little harrowing -- for those with less assertive personalities, but when Irvings find mates with whom they are intellectually compatible, they will demonstrate more patience than you thought possible.
A marriage with such a commanding temperament can be a tempestuous affair, but because the IV hates to admit defeat, even an unhealthy union has a good chance at longevity. If you’re going to choose an IV as a mate, it’s best to find one who has been tempered with a healthy dose of humility from previously failed relationship.
