Your first name of Curtanya has created contrasting qualities in your nature. You desire change and varied experiences and you are capable in many areas, but you do not excel because of your scattering, impulsive desires. In fact, you feel awkward and self-conscious when put in delicate situations, as you feel your inability to be as diplomatic as you should be. Social chitchat does not appeal to your practical nature. With supportive influence from other names you may use, you could be creative or artistic in a practical way, but basically this name is a plodding influence, though you have a desire for greater expression. Good manners, reliability, and honesty are important to you, and you expect them in others. You have an inquisitive, investigative mind and a curiosity about life, along with an interest in scientific matters. You tend to live your ideas day and night, or else lose interest completely. This skepticism has not protected you from many disappointments when people you have trusted have let you down. Your first impressions of situations or people are usually accurate, although there are times when you are too naïve, causing you to trust people who then let you down.
