Your first name of Obadiah has made you practical, systematic, and thorough. There may be a tendency to be domineering in close relationships, not listening to the opinions of others nor seeking their input in decisions. Because of the serious, responsible qualities of your name, you must recognize the importance of a sense of humour and optimistic perspective of life. You are ambitious with big ideas, but you readily become bogged down in the small details to the point of fussiness. Particular about your material possessions, you budget frugally, buy quality, and value and look after what you own. This conflict is often the cause of discontent within you. Because of its matter-of-fact influence, this name limits your ability to be flexible and spontaneous and causes you to view new and unfamiliar ideas with skepticism. Friends and associates may detect a lack of feeling and sympathy in their relationship with you. Your interests and hobbies are generally along practical, technical, or scientific lines. You express your appreciation for others by what you do for them rather than by what you say.
