Your name of Herness gives you a strong urge for independence. Even though you are aware of what is required, it is difficult to convey emotional sentiments such as sympathy or compliments. Nothing intimidates you once you make up your mind. You find your own solutions and innovations to get a job done, without relying on encouragement or assistance from others. You are steadfast and loyal, and do not allow gossip or anything belittling to be said against those whom you accept in friendship. You are not easily influenced by the opinions and actions of others and can be depended upon for assistance. Although you realize perfectly well what is expected of you, you are unable to find the right words, and hence you end up saying something inappropriate in a candid way. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines. You find satisfaction in being outdoors or in getting out into nature, or in dealing with the products of the earth.
