Your first name of Nikifor gives you self-assurance, independence, and confidence. Having the confidence and will power to follow through on your objectives does not give you a lot of understanding for those who are lacking in initiative. A need for independence would have you wanting to branch out on your own at an early age to become master of your own destiny. Even though you do not tolerate interference in your affairs, you are not shy about pointing out to others what they should do differently. Those who know you best appreciate your loyalty and honesty. You have depth of mind and the ability to concentrate and to follow a line of thought to a logical conclusion. You must be independent and you do not brook interference in any way. As you are not demonstrative of your feelings, others know they can lean on you for support and protection. 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.
