About the Name Story

The name Story's root letters are STR.

Names that begin with the letters S and T invariably denote individuals with an unmatched dose of strength, stability, stubbornness, and stoicism. The STR root takes this robust theme a little further by creating words like: strident, strong, sterling, stormy, strive, streak, strike, zestier, and rustler. It’s hardly a surprise then, that many people consider Storys to be highly motivated and earnest about their careers and loves. There’s also no doubt that Storys are extraordinarily intelligent and are quick to rise to challenges. And if it sometimes seems that everything is a competition to the STR personalities (like discussing music, playing cards or hanging out), that’s the price you pay for associating with those who believe they were meant to conquer the world.

Even when meddling in artistic pursuits, the concrete Storys prefer to keep things strictly businesslike and they’ll throw themselves so completely into their projects that they’ll leave little room for fun. Their sharp minds serve them well in technological pursuits, and their inquisitive natures make them ideal for careers in journalism, science or computer programming. Even if Storys have a tendency to go overboard on some of their projects, it doesn’t mean that they’re reckless in any way. Their single-minded approach to making money can be as intense as a triple espresso on an empty stomach.

Storys love to entertain and will do so at the drop of a hat. Lack of a stage doesn't bother these sassy extroverts… they'll play to any audience, no matter how small or disinterested. If they don’t get the response they’re expecting, they might even initiate an argument just for the sake of a little mental exercise. You can understand why their friends get a little frazzled at times, but you can’t deny that these are well-intentioned folks with an unusual combination of humor and stubbornness.

It won’t be difficult to know what’s going on with your STR friends… they’re willing to let it all hang out -- dirty laundry and all. It's not that they aren’t mindful of how they’re perceived by others; they’re just so focused on meeting their goals, that if it’s going to take a few raised eyebrows, so be it. With their natural good humor and easygoing attitudes, it’s easy to forgive them for any shortcomings.

When rummaging around for a mate, Storys are likely to pick someone with whom they can relate to intellectually. It’s also an STR requirement that their partners have their own interests, for the egalitarian Storys would never expect anyone to sacrifice their dreams for their own personal needs.
