When the paternal letter P combines with the hopeful and hushed tones of the letter H, it takes on the inscrutable aspects of the words: phantom, physics, sphinx, prophecy, sophism, and zephyr. And even though the letter L (the symbol of loving, laughing, living and learning) plays a role in providing these names a sense of higher purpose, the PHL phoneme remains strongly connected to the commanding masculine images found in the words physical, phallic, Philistine, phlegmatic, phalanx, and philanderer. This is why many female PHLs (Phillis and Phyllis) employ the sensual letter S to soften, sensitize and sweeten theirnames.
With these aloof and pensive characteristics, PHL people can often prove difficult to warm up to when you first meet them. Perhaps it’s because they don’t encourage familiarity with outsiders and prefer to keep them at arm’s length, but PHLs are unfailingly polite and respectful and will always reciprocate gestures of goodwill from strangers.
Remaining admirably unruffled in the face of pressure, PHLs don’t adapt to situations so much as situations adapt to them, and are therefore, the ideal people to have around in emergencies. Their innate calm makes them perfect candidates for being doctors, EMTs, or simply the go-to-people when cool heads are needed. PHLs are standouts in the fields of law and business, in which they handle themselves with shrewd intelligence.
These aren’t overtly aggressive individuals and you’ll hardly ever see PHLs losing control of their tempers. They exude a quiet strength to which others usually defer, and negative emotions are cleverly channeled into their work efforts to better increase their earning power.
These intelligent people also have sardonic senses of humor, and these qualities go a long way to making them popular choices with the opposite sex. But since not everyone gets their wry wit, PHLs use this as a test to winnow their field of potential suitors. Even so, mating with PHLs can be challenging undertakings. Because intimate communication is a priority for these introspective souls, the burden will be on their partner to keep up with some pretty deep conversations.
If you want to witness the transformation of a sober purist into a puddle of goo, visit a PHL when he or she is taking care of their infant. Nothing brings out the PHLs’ nurturing side more than marriage and parenthood and their families will thrive under their prudent sense of direction.
