Your first name of Quinlan has created a practical, patient, scientific nature able to concentrate on the finer details of a project or undertaking. You have acuity for sounds both mechanical and natural. You would find enjoyment and peace in an outdoor environment studying the flora and fauna of nature from a scientific point of view. This name restricts congenial expression and association, creating much aloneness. You enjoy learning from discussions, but express your deeper thoughts and feelings better through writing. As you keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself, this reserved quality has created misunderstandings with others because they feel left out. Lack of proper verbal and emotional expression creates intensity and unhappiness within you, which in turn disturbs your nervous system and depletes your vitality. You would function best in settled conditions where you are not called upon to meet and mix too closely with others, but are able to work on your own. You could express your thoughts more easily in writing than in speaking. You seldom experience the peace of mind that comes with composed thinking and emotional control.
