Your first name of Merie has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature. You often feel you could have achieved even better results. You attend to tedious responsibilities only when you have no other alternative. Unfortunately, this name makes it difficult for you to concentrate and to finish what you start because, once your interest in a project wanes, you begin to look for something new, something different to challenge yourself, anything to avoid monotony and the handling of details. You tend to express yourself in an opinionated, candid, and matter-of-fact manner. Exploring new areas on your own, or with a few close friends, holds definite appeal and offers a constructive outlet for your restless energy. It gives you the desire to be a leader, to pioneer new undertakings, and to try new ideas in practical, creative occupations. If, for some reason, you cannot carry out your plans, you can experience deep moods of depression. You become intensely involved with everything you plan to do, but the stress arising from frustrating obstacles or misunderstandings with others could prompt you to be intolerant and sarcastic in your expression, with breakdowns in congenial relations with family and friends a possible end result. Intensity affects the senses of your head as well, whereby you could suffer with migraine headaches, sinus problems, or throat and swallowing difficulties.
