Your first name of Alva has given you a friendly, likeable nature, and you could excel in artistic, dramatic, and musical expression. Yours is a quick mind and you can usually think of something to say when there is a need to offset or deflect an unpleasant situation, sometimes finding it necessary to stretch the truth a little in the process. Under stressful and intense situations, it is a challenge to you to maintain an even temperament as you are extreme in your feelings, optimistic and happy one moment, despondent and self-pitying the next. You require plenty of rest and relaxation in order to handle responsibilities. You enjoy spending money and are generous, but must be wary of those who would appeal to your feelings and encourage you to spend beyond your means. Your emotional feelings are easily aroused and you will always be involved in other people's problems as a result of your overly sympathetic nature. As you often experience difficulty making decisions, you appreciate the encouragement of others to give you the support and confidence necessary to follow through on your decisions. If given the training, you could excel in the self-expressive arts particularly in playing an instrument, in elocution, or in dancing. You could experience physical problems in the fluid functions and the glands. In worst cases, nervous breakdowns and loss of memory could occur.
