Your first name of Merrie has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature. You expect a great deal of yourself and of others, and you are seldom satisfied with your accomplishments. Over-intensity is your challenge; you put a great deal of effort into your activities, but often fail to take time to relax, to view your plans objectively, and perhaps, to consider the opinions of others. When you are annoyed, you must guard against a strong temper and the expression of intolerance and criticism. Because of the restless qualities within your first name, it is very often difficult for you to find pleasure in ordinary congeniality. Exploring new areas on your own, or with a few close friends, holds definite appeal and offers a constructive outlet for your restless energy. You appreciate nature and the freedom associated with being in a natural environment. As it is difficult for you to express the little attentions and niceties that appeal to more sensitive natures, you attract misunderstandings with those who do not appreciate your forthright manner. Intensity affects the senses of your head as well, whereby you could suffer with migraine headaches, sinus problems, or throat and swallowing difficulties. This name spoils relaxation and contentment, the mental qualities necessary for good health.
