Your first name of Philan creates a serious, thoughtful nature, shrewd, efficient, and business-minded. In times of need, others are drawn to your forthright, matter-of-fact manner. You take your responsibilities seriously and have a deep appreciation for family, the home environment, and the community. You are one to make your own decisions, and not be influenced by others. Your accomplishments give you a great deal of satisfaction, and involvement in social activities can sometimes make you feel that you are wasting time. Situations requiring sympathy and understanding, or where compliments are expected, may make you feel awkward and embarrassed. You are practical and steadfast but at times too limited in your personal opinions and ideas. You do not change your mind readily. Your positive manner and outlook can make others feel that you are imposing your will on them and even interfering in their affairs. In your personal relations with others, you are inclined to be rather serious, and not to see the humour others see, or to respond spontaneously.
