Your first name of Ballard creates an intense desire for association with people and new experiences, many of which have been rather bitter. You desire change and travel and would enjoy opportunities that allowed you to be creative and to act independently, rather than to conform to system and routine. When challenged for an explanation on a matter that could cause conflict, you can almost instantly come up with an acceptable answer to deflect the issue, even if you have to stretch the truth a little. A poor memory could eventually be a problem. This name has given you a gregarious personality and a quick-thinking, creative, and versatile nature, but one that is unstable emotionally. You could, at times, be too easily influenced against your better judgment, and be led along paths or into activities that put you at risk. Your extreme sensitivity and intensity have an adverse effect on your nervous system and, under extreme pressure, could cause a nervous breakdown. Farther fields look greener to you and you find it hard to finish what you have started. You are too open to suggestion, and thus you could become involved in detrimental associations which could lead you into by-paths of thrill-seeking or emotional indulgence. This name spoils patience and depth of thought, and weakens your stand in matters of principle.
