Your first name of Alasdhair makes you spontaneous and versatile, enjoying congenial association, appreciating the finer things of life, and loving to talk and debate. These tendencies could spoil long-term understanding and compatibility. Although you do not depend on others for encouragement, you respond to appreciation and enjoy being the centre of attention. You are strong willed and self-sufficient, not depending on others for encouragement. Although you are congenial in the early stages of friendships, it is not easy for you to maintain relaxed, harmonious relationships because, through increasing familiarity, you are inclined to lack patience, to be intolerant, and to speak your mind in a frank, argumentative, and occasionally hurtful manner. As your independence and freedom are very important, you will seldom tolerate limitations. At times when your expressive urges seem to be bottled up, you experience stress and react to others critically instead of handling situations in a relaxed, cheerful manner. However, once you make up your mind that something is going to work, you persevere until it is accomplished. Health weaknesses centre in the head with the use of this name, appearing as head colds, sinus problems, headaches, or hay fever. Although you are naturally happy and generous, you fail to hold friendships because you are inclined to be too dogmatic, argumentative, or sarcastic.
