The name of Peoria has given you the desire for creative, artistic or musical expression in an original way. These tendencies could spoil long-term understanding and compatibility. Seldom planning ahead, you undertake projects and work out the details as circumstances arise. Because you like to get your own way, and your name makes it difficult for you to see things from other points of view, others accuse you of obstinacy or self-centredness. You could be inventive and ingenious along practical lines. Although you are congenial in the early stages of friendships, it is not easy for you to maintain relaxed, harmonious relationships because, through increasing familiarity, you are inclined to lack patience, to be intolerant, and to speak your mind in a frank, argumentative, and occasionally hurtful manner. You do not depend on others for encouragement, but you respond to appreciation and enjoy being the centre of attention. You tend to scatter your efforts and to avoid those activities that require concentration, system and order, and attention to detail. This name does not offer the softness of expression for long-lasting compatibility in close associations. At times when your expressive urges seem to be bottled up, you experience stress and react to others critically instead of handling situations in a relaxed, cheerful manner.
