Your first name of Mendes has developed qualities of positivity, independence, and self-confidence. You take your responsibilities seriously and have a deep appreciation for family and the home environment. This name does make you quite direct and straight-to-the-point. Because you tend to be somewhat of a perfectionist, you might insist on doing too many things yourself instead of delegating jobs to others who might do less satisfactory work. You prefer a simple, uncomplicated life where you can apply originality and ingenuity to express your creative talents. You do not change your mind readily. You are staunch in friendship, and others can depend upon you for guidance and assistance. Self-consciousness and lack of expression limit your ability to give in this way. You have a tendency to worry far too much over obligations and responsibilities. It is a name that makes you far too practical and serious-minded, and makes it difficult for you to act with spontaneity.
