Your first name of Purrdie gives you the desire for success and financial accumulation and the confidence and drive to go after your ambitions, regardless of obstacles. You believe in speaking directly and to the point, so you are candid and abrupt. Being extremely independent and capable, you learn through your own experiences and you like to work on your own or in a position where you are responsible for making decisions and directing the efforts of others. An extremely independent and self-sufficient person, you dislike taking orders or advice from anyone. However, misunderstandings occur occasionally when others find your direct approach and opinions too severe. You have good business vision, but the opportunities you attract are often limited. Excessive affection embarrasses you and you do not appreciate being the target for endearing words, not that you do not value them, but your self-conscious traits make it difficult for you to know how to respond. You do not depend upon others for encouragement to carry out your undertakings. Those in close association complain that you are not inclined to observe and return acts of kindness, compassion, or affection. You would be a firm parent and your children would be well-disciplined, but you would find it difficult to get close to them and to show compassion and affection.
