Your first name of Alameda gives you the desire for success and financial accumulation and the confidence and drive to go after your ambitions, regardless of obstacles. You have good business vision, but the opportunities you attract are often limited. You say what you have to say in a candid, honest manner. Being extremely independent and capable, you learn through your own experiences and you like to work on your own or in a position where you are responsible for making decisions and directing the efforts of others. Excessive affection embarrasses you and you do not appreciate being the target for endearing words, not that you do not value them, but your self-conscious traits make it difficult for you to know how to respond. You tend to feel very frustrated in being unable to realize your ambitions fully. It is seldom easy for you to change your opinions about matters. Your interests in life tend toward business and financial opportunities. You would be a firm parent and your children would be well-disciplined, but you would find it difficult to get close to them and to show compassion and affection. Those in close association complain that you are not inclined to observe and return acts of kindness, compassion, or affection.
