If you need an explicit example of two negatives making a positive, consider the action of the double N in the NN names. While the letter N may be the symbol of negativity (as in the words; no, not, nothing, never, nowhere and nix), the double N is a manifestation of the more benign and maternal aspects of human nature: nun, granny, manna, sunny, innocent, funny, canny, feminine, bonny, and hosanna (a shout of praise toGod). N names which also incorporate the letter C pronounced like the sexy S (Nancy and Nance), are buoyed by the feminine brand of winsome charm found in the words: fancy, flounce, dance, elegance and nicety.
NNs don’t have large personalities. They succeed in life by studiously avoiding the spotlight and acting as counselors to their small sets of tight friends. Like many non-aggressive people, NNs have highly developed instincts and powers of observation, and with penchants for ferreting out all kinds of trivia, they would make terrific news reporters or private detectives. But few NNs achieve great heights in their professional lives; they simply lack killer instincts and feel no great need to prove anything (at least when it comes to work). But if NNs are going to succeed, it’s because they intuitively understand that there is no future in being right when their bosses are wrong. This is why many NNs are drawn to the fields of education and medicine and why they excel in endeavors which require patience and sensitivity.
If NN’s cultivate an aura of nourishing energy, it’s because they always seem willing to lend a helping hand. Many NNs have secretly concluded that there is no greater thrill than feeling needed, and they relish the fact that people turn so readily to them for advice. Their main danger in life is getting trampled on by those with bigger personalities -- especially since they’re so willing to give in to the needs of others – and this plants the seeds of resentment in the NN’s caring bosom. Many grow wary as they mature, estranging old friends and keeping new ones at bay.
Honest? Absolutely. But these are people who believe the arrow of truth should be dipped in honey. At worst you’ll get a gently sarcastic comment here and there, but they aren’t the kind to actually put anyone down (at least to their face).
If you’re looking for love, you’re in luck, but if you’re expecting a lot of physical demonstration you’ll probably be disappointed. The NNs will certainly bring you chicken soup when you’re feeling under the weather and their bedside manners have all the touchy-feeliness that nine out of ten patients prefer, but their brand of sensuality everything to do with emotional connectedness and much less to do with overt physicality.
