Your first name of Alger gives you an independent, serious, reticent, and studious nature. You are rather easily hurt or offended. You do not express yourself spontaneously when conversing with others; hence other people may often regard you as being aloof, and even unfriendly. At such times you can withdraw into a mood, and may not even speak to others. Your difficulty in putting your deeper thoughts and feelings into words can lead to problems in more intimate associations. The people who mean the most to you are those who can offer you intellectual companionship. This name has caused you to live much within yourself. An intellectual, you have a deep appreciation for art, music, literature, and all the phenomena of nature. For that reason, despite having good business abilities, you like to work alone or where you are making your own decisions. It has created separateness from others and loneliness in your life.
