About the Name Giovanni

The name Giovanni's root letters are GV.

The fortuitous combination of the grand letter G and the vital, virile, vivacious letter V, earns the GV names their spicy grandeur. It’s not for nothing that these people are associated with a jaunty swagger and a devil-may-care attitude.

In their social lives, Giovannis enjoy being the center of attention and have a knack for seducing the spotlight onto themselves. But in their work environments, Giovannis often prove to be somewhat restless. In part, this is triggered by their inherent discomfort with authority, but it’s also because working indoors is an anathema to these free-spirited souls. They’ll usually let their views be loudly known (and some might even accuse them of being troublemakers), but they certainly have no intention of causing any harm. They live by the dictum: if you’re not making waves – you’re not paddling.

The best thing an employer can do is to allow their GV employees to work at their own pace in order to give free reign to their creative spirits -- for it’s only when the Giovannis are being creative that they don’t feel like they’re actually working. But like most people whose names begin with the get-up-and-go letter G, Giovannis prefer to work for themselves so they don’t have to waste time trying to convince others of the importance of their ideas.

Even with their rebellious attitude towards work, Giovannis are canny when it comes to their money, especially when they don’t have much money to worry about. It’s just that they place a great deal of emphasis on material comforts and have a healthy respect for the value of a dollar. Giovannis homes are tastefully and expensively furnished, so when they go shopping, they’ll likely pass up on the bargain brands and select a few quality items that will last for years.

GV people often allow their emotions to run away with them when it comes to matters of the heart. So if you’re married to a GV you can expect a few surprises, especially when it comes to creative boudoir romps, but mates should remember that Giovannis are strongly averse to being controlled and not try and rule the roost.

Giovannis are big picture people and would rather take care of the big things in the relationship in exchange for their mate taking care of the little details. It’s not surprising that many people comment on how happy and well-adjusted the GV’s children are. They will be raised under an old-fashioned philosophy that includes a focus on education, independence and sober-living.
