About the Name Loyalty

The name Loyalty's root letters are LL.

The letter L accounts for the lusty qualities found in the words lively, lip-smacking, liberty, laughter, and love, and implies a person who is keenly aware that the important things in life have nothing to do with worldly goods. And since these names feature a double dose of the likeable L, theyare exceptionally associated with the gentle comeliness found in the words: lilt, ladylike, belle, laurel, loyal, moll and lovelorn.

Loyaltys are men and women who seem to enjoy friction-free lives and make few enemies as they glide along. Although they hide it well, Loyaltys are extremely protective of their emotional cores and any perceived criticisms will provoke strong defensive reactions -- usually in the form of prolonged sulks or sullen silences. Trying to get Loyaltys to open up during these down spells is a waste of time and you’re better off allowing their moods to run their course. Consequently, Loyaltys tend to bond closely with small groups on whom they can emotionally depend, while their wider circle of casual acquaintances is kept at an emotional distance.

Loyaltys approach life with an abiding hatred of routine and their affairs are arranged accordingly; you won’t find them slugging away at the nine-to-five grind or volunteering to work overtime. Yet for as little effort as they put out, they somehow always seem to have enough money left over to buy gifts for their close friends. It also wouldn’t surprise anyone to find Loyaltys spending their spare time volunteering for worthy causes. But just because you don’t bump into them at the local soup kitchen doesn’t mean they aren’t quietly supporting local charities or helping their friends through bad times.

So why are Loyaltys so often the recipient of backbiting and gossip? It seems that some people have a problem with the Loyaltys’ holier-than-thou syndrome and goody-two-shoes attitudes. And even if it’s true that the comfortable Loyaltys are a little smug on occasion, if this is the worst thing they’re going to be accused of then everything is going according to plan.

Those who are out to find true love should definitely knock on the LL’s door for even if you’re not invited all the way in; you’re likely to get a gracious smile and a peck on the cheek. But if you’re lucky enough to have the door thrown open you’ll find that Loyaltys are experts at life’s little luxuries. Once they’ve tied the knot, they’re likely to become the self-appointed gardener of the family tree, impulsively tracking birthdays, anniversaries and nurturing all things familial. It’s not difficult to successfully partner an LL. All you’ll need is a little imagination, a modicum of patience and a lot of love.
