Your first name of Scanlan creates a friendly, sociable, charming nature, but causes you to be too easily influenced by others. You learn more through practical applications, experimentation, and observation. Many of your great plans do not reach completion. You prefer situations that allow a degree of independence, but are reluctant to take on a demanding work-load or responsibility. You can be very witty and others appreciate your sense of humour. While you find it easy to meet and mix, and can appear agreeable and compromising in conversation, you can become dogmatic and forceful if pressed too far. You can be very obliging, helping others in times of need and neglecting your own duties. This name creates conditions that are restricting, preventing you from finding complete success in your endeavours. In a position dealing with the public, you could do well because of your friendly personality, interest in people, and desire to please. When asked, you are able to give others good advice that you would probably not follow yourself, but must guard against being too opinionated in controversial matters.
