Your name of Alric gives you a strong urge for independence. As a result, others withdraw from you as they find you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative. Investigating and studying various aspects of nature, for example, as an astronomer or naturalist, appeal to your desire to seek an understanding of life. Yet, when they get to know you, they realize you are loyal in friendships and would go to any length to help someone in need. A physically active person, you have an appreciation for outdoor recreation, which you prefer to pursue on your own or with one or two close friends who share the same affinity for the peace of nature and the physical challenges it provides. You find your own solutions and innovations to get a job done, without relying on encouragement or assistance from others. In conversation, you prefer to use as few words as possible and often choose silence rather than idle chatter. Neither sentimental nor idealistic, you take life as it comes and learn as you go. There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines. You work best where you can combine physical labour and prefer to work where you can spend time outdoors.
