Your first name of Alford has made you a sociable person who appreciates the beauties of nature and the refinements of life, and is moved by music and the arts. You may find some expression but it would usually be light conversation, rarely daring to reveal your deeper thoughts or take others into your confidence for fear of criticism or ridicule. Gently falling rain, the wind in the willows, the sounds of birds, dappled sunlight through the trees in a forest, many expressions of nature reach your imagination and help to build a sense of harmony within. Under just the right circumstances, you can be very dramatic. You crave affection and understanding, yet because you can be so easily and deeply hurt, you have learned to keep your true nature hidden; therefore people do not really know you. You cry easily despite your efforts to control this sensitivity. When you experience friendship and support from others, you feel better about yourself. Your deep affection for and devotion to others expresses naturally in an atmosphere of understanding. Thus, you live much within your own thoughts, often finding your escape in reading, which you love to do. This name creates a sensitivity in the fluid functions of the body and a tendency to weakness in the respiratory organs or the female organs.
