About the Name Cole

The name Cole's root letters are CL.

A sense of clarity and clear-headedness emanates from the combination of the crisp letter C and the lively, loving letter L. With their personalities closely associated to words like clever, classy, clarity, clean, and clergy, one can’t help but be attracted to these energetic individuals who never seem to be without a clear sense of purpose.

CL names are seeped in an air of nobility that their owners carry quite well. It’s as if they stepped straight out an English countryside smelling of Windsor roses and oiled leather. The charming Coles will be unfailingly courteous and polite even when things aren’t going their way. In social gatherings, these people tend to gravitate towards society’s elite, not out of any expression of snobbery, but simply because that’s where they feel most comfortable. In fact, Coles are quite compassionate toward the less fortunate but are more likely to make their contributions from a distance, instead of actually mingling.

Coles are quite serious about how they conduct their business affairs and tend to choose careers that offer them the opportunities to fly solo -- preferring the rewards that come with individual achievement. These are competitive people who enjoy activities that challenge their well-maintained bodies and sharp minds, but since they are not particularly patient or intuitive people, should avoid professions that involve intimate contact; like counseling or nursing.

In their personal lives, Coles are well organized and exhibit a need to be firmly in control of their relationships. Because Coles are big-picture people (they aren’t the type to fret over things like putting the cap back on the toothpaste), potential partners are advised to pick their battles. Few things irritate Coles more than someone interrupting one of their many rants about politics, war or the family finances. One could accuse them of being in love with the sound of their own voices, but it’s more likely a reflection of their love for any kind of debate

Coles would never allow themselves to exhibit weakness through displaying their affections and putting themselves on the line. And because they can be so self-contained, theiremotional motivations are sometimes hard to fathom. But this doesn’t mean that they’re not actively engaged in their choice of mates. Marriage to socially appropriate partners is very important to the choosy CL, who will often wait years for the right match to come along.
