Your first name of Purviance has given you an idealistic nature with a desire to help others. Since you are impressionable and receptive, you feel the misfortunes of others very keenly. Your initiative often causes you to be the first to act when you see a need. If you perceive you are being taken advantage of, you can become overly critical and complaining. This name creates a dual quality in that at times, you are compassionate and understanding and, at other times, unyielding and strong willed. You dislike monotony and system and enjoy being creative in an inventive way whether it be in interior decorating, music, art, crafts, or other endeavours that require versatility and skill. On the other hand, when understood, you can be very charming and affectionate, as you respond quickly to kindness and sympathy. However, this name makes it awkward for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings with finesse and diplomacy to the extent that your candid, sometimes blunt, manner of speaking creates misunderstandings with others. A leadership position appeals to you because you would enjoy directing others rather than being directed. Your feelings are strong and you tend to react intensely to situations.
