Your first name, Merle, creates an independent, forthright, practical nature. You are loyal in friendships, not easily influenced by the opinions or actions of others. You tend to be focused on whatever you are doing and undaunted by obstacles. You often think about how you could promote the talents of others. You try to avoid those situations and thus the impression is left with others that you seem too prosaic and unfeeling. You want to be successful financially and have an interest in investments and stocks. Misunderstanding with others have occurred when they have regarded you to be forceful, unsympathetic, and self-centred. You are dependable and unchangeable once you have reached your decisions and committed yourself. Tension and stress affect the senses of the head such as the eyes; headaches, sinus problems, or generative troubles could arise. You do not tend to be a temperamental nature and can handle a great deal of responsibility.
