Your first name of Alvan creates an intense desire for association with people and new experiences, many of which have been rather bitter. The qualities in this name tend to narrow your opportunities by hindering your ability to concentrate. 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. Through lack of discretion and being too emotional, you could attract bitter experiences and disappointments in people. One side desires placidity, relaxation, and social activities, while the other side longs for change and travel, and opportunities that allow you to be creative and independent from all routine and interference. Although you may appear confident and positive, you actually lack confidence and feel self-conscious at times. There is much confusion under this name, and your moods will fluctuate from one extreme to the other. 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. While you do have a quick, clever mind, the tensions and limitations this name places upon your happiness and success in life far outweigh the benefits.
