The name Abernathy's root letters are ARTH.
Notice how your teeth are revealed when you pronounce the name Arthur. This subtle signal serves as a subliminal warning to your audience and might explain why the AR word pattern so commonly occurs in deference-demanding words like archangel, father, arbiter, aristocracy, Armageddon, and arrogance. The TH phoneme -- traditionally associated with the benevolent aspects of theology thankfulness, thoughtful, hearth, health, father, and mother -- compounds these names’ paternal qualities, and might explain why the name Arthur was chosen for the mythical first king of England.
Abernathys exhibit the self-assurance typical of people with A-names, and tend to be rather formal and detached individuals; like patient fathers presiding over their brood. Because they have the ability to inspire respect without a hint of intimidation, people instinctively tend to trust them and Abernathys do their best to live up to these expectations.
There's no challenging the Abernathys’ status in their social groups, and as long as their "subjects" defer to their dignified authority, peace will reign in their little kingdoms. Yet the ARTH's motive is not to dominate, but simply to foster an environment of learning and growth in others. From their perspectives, competent people create better a world for them to live in.
When choosing careers, the Abernathys’ goal is to find positions that might allow them to work on their own -- or at least be in control of their own output. The ARTH’s work ethic is legendary, and even though they aren’t driven purely by financial rewards, they almost always derive a great deal of their self-worth from their professional lives. Abernathys who take an entrepreneurial route in their professional lives will certainly inspire respect and loyalty in their workers, but make no mistake, working for an ARTH will whip even the most reticent employee into shape.
Abernathys often assume that they know everything about love and romance and regard themselves as better lovers than their abilities justify. Those married to Abernathys have probably experienced their dominating influences (which can prove annoying to autonomous partners and downright intimidating to the meek), and explains why Abernathys instinctively gravitate to those who appreciate take-charge personalities and find comfort in these dovetailed unions.
