Over three million men and women in the U.S. go by some form of MKL name and its enduring popularity is a reflection of these names’ inherent flexibility and the fact that its primary forces run the gamut from gentle to decisive to spiritual. The letter M is the flagship of maternal and motherly compassion while the vigor of the K can be discerned in the words keen, kick, knock, knuckle, knife, and king. Since the letter L is the symbol for all the higher aspects of humanity (life, love, liberty, learning, and laughter), your MKL friend is probably a compassionate and resolute individual with a strong moral kernel.
It is significant that MKL people choose to use the long form of their names (Michael) instead of the available contractions (Mike). In opting to use the more complex version – requiring extra effort on the part of others to pronounce -- it’s fair to say that these people have stronger egos than most.
MKLs are restless creatures who need to feel that they’re making a difference. They may not be the most colorful crayons in the box, but they do seem burdened by a sense of destiny to play an important role in whatever they do. Whether they make their marks as parents, businesspeople or artists, these are talented people with ever-bubbling creative juices, who even when they seem to be marking time, are actually pondering their next move.
When it comes to business issues, MKLs are like many people whose names begin with the letter M in that they are not driven by money alone. In fact, MKLs without family obligations tend to be dreamy and impractical. Fortunately, married MKLs take their responsibilities seriously enough to put their personal desires aside and get down to work.
The MKLs’ insistence on doing things their own wayasserts itself in the romance department where, instead of roses for your birthday you might get dahlias or hollyhocks -- or a few dandelions stolen from the neighbor’s yard. The good news is that, despite their oddities, they’re as happy as turkeys on Boxing Day when it comes to committing to long-term relationships.
When it comes to these intimate unions, MKL mates will require heaps of attention from their partners if their relationships are to be kept running in tip-top condition. It’s a little like owning a racehorse… the more hay you put in, the more you’ll get out. So if you’re a little peeved at having to clean the stalls, just remember why you married them in the first place.
