Your first name of Shantayna has given you a desire for self-expression and for positions that allow contact with people, free from the restrictions and monotony into which you are often drawn. You enjoy surprises to a degree, yet it is difficult for you to adjust quickly. You thrive on encouragement and appreciation from others, and kindness goes a long way in bringing out your naturally cheerful disposition. You want to plan and budget, and to maintain a well-ordered home, but it is difficult for you to follow through with your plans. Although you would like to be natural in conveying emotional sentiments, you tend to be matter-of-fact and practical in expressions of appreciation for others. Occasionally, you can be argumentative, obstinate, and somewhat intolerant of the weaknesses of others, even though it is not your intention to be deliberately hurtful. Love and affection are motivating qualities within you, but it is not easy for you to find the words to express your deeper feelings of affection. Family and home life are important as long as a routine does not become monotonous. There is conflict between your desires and your expression which does not allow scope for your capabilities. You enjoy sugars and starchy, rich foods.
