The name of Placid creates a dual nature in that you can be very generous and understanding, but you can also be so candid in your expression that you create misunderstanding. At times, you are an extremist in whatever holds your interest, with the result that you focus all your energies, your ingenuity, and originality of thought to do your best. You are inclined to do to excess the things you like to do. When you are happy and giving, you have a charming personality, you make friends easily, and would go to great lengths to help someone in need. Often you do the things you like to excess and, as a result, you wear yourself out. Because of your definite ideas and opinions, you work best on your own, free from the advice or interference of others. Your obstinate traits and candid expression have, at times, spoiled friendships. This name does offer creative talent where there is the opportunity for ingenuity and originality. Stress causes health weaknesses to centre in the senses of the head, or the nervous system. This quality can spoil friendships and create losses in the affections.
