About the Name Keith

The softly comforting sounds of the TH phoneme are responsible for the reassuring essence found in the words; mother, father, thanks, therapy, thoughtful, theism and thrive. When the TH occurs in names initialized by the forcefully aggressive letter K, it implies someone with iron self-control and an obliging disposition. Since the letter N is the symbol for all things negative -- no, not, never, nyet, nada, nix, nothing, and naught -- we expect to find a certain level of pessimism from the Kathleen, Kenneths, and Katherine of the world,. On the other hand, those who choose to end their names with the playful letter Y or IE sound (Kathy and Kathie) are signaling that they don’t take themselves quite as seriously.

As gracious as KTHs appear to be, there’s an unmistakable energy humming just beneath the surface. KTHs would never deign to reveal the source of these powerful currents, for they are a dignified bunch for whom social modesty is very important. These powerful personalities are quietly confident in their own strengths and rarely exhibit outright aggression. And while you would agree that KTHs are habitually composed, they can be as cold as a Leona Helmsley scowl if you happen to betray their confidence.

KTHs are focused in the workplace, but it must be said that getting ahead isn’t the only entry on their to-do list. They are less concerned with financial success than they are about the quality of their relationships and will even bench their careers when push comes to shove. Mostly, they prefer to intertwine the two: filling their workspaces with keepsakes from home and bringing work back from the office.

Although KTHs may change careers once or twice in a lifetime, they’re pretty consistent about what they want. If some people believe there’s only one best way up the mountain, KTHs believe that every path has its own unique view and there are no wrong ways to get there. Even if they can’t remember where they put the road map, KTHs are quite happy to be lost.

If your ideal mate is someone who will do everything you ask, then marriage to a KTH isn’t for you. Instead, you’ll get a competitive partner who will push you to do your best. And if you want to know if your KTH likes you, it’s not going to be easy to tell. Perhaps out of insecurity (or perhaps for control reasons) they aren’t going to reveal their intimate emotions until they’re good and ready and suitors are often left blundering around in the dark while the KTH blithely acts as if everything were normal. With this kind of coquettishness it’s a wonder that any of them actually end up in intimate relationships, but it’s a reflection of just how much their company is valued by the opposite sex that they do.
