Your first name of Hildeprand gives you self-assurance, independence, and confidence. The ability to be original and follow a line of thought through to a logical conclusion leads you to be creative and inventive along practical lines. As you are not demonstrative of your feelings, others know they can lean on you for support and protection. Although your manner might conflict with others who are also strong-willed, you are seen as a leader and respected for your integrity and steadfast individuality. You love to challenge the concepts of others, developing your own ideas and pioneering new lines of thought. You work best as your own boss as you are self-motivated and decisive, and resentful of someone telling you what to do. Although you do not tolerate interference in your own affairs, this characteristic does not prevent you from interfering in the affairs of others. You must be independent and you do not brook interference in any way. Also, there could be a tendency for your peace of mind to be disturbed because of worry. Although you are good-natured and never intend offence, still your blunt, direct, and candid manner of expression strains friendships; your honesty and sincerity earn respect from others.
