The name of Aelfleda has given you the desire for creative, artistic or musical expression in an original way. However, once you make up your mind that something is going to work, you persevere until it is accomplished. Seldom planning ahead, you undertake projects and work out the details as circumstances arise. These tendencies could spoil long-term understanding and compatibility. You tend to scatter your efforts and to avoid those activities that require concentration, system and order, and attention to detail. 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. 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. This name does not offer the softness of expression for long-lasting compatibility in close associations. In an argument, you usually emerge victor, but at a cost.
