Your first name of Brooking makes you spontaneous and versatile, enjoying congenial association, appreciating the finer things of life, and loving to talk and debate. A scattering tendency in your nature causes you to prefer to avoid those activities that require concentration, system and order, and attention to detail. You thrive on interacting with people, particularly when there is the opportunity to implement your original, creative ideas. You are strong willed and self-sufficient, not depending on others for encouragement. New ideas and new projects motivate, but you have difficulty in following through if the novelty wears off. Although you do not depend on others for encouragement, you respond to appreciation and enjoy being the centre of attention. 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. You could be inventive and ingenious in solving practical problems. 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.
