Your name of Balwin gives you a strong urge for independence. In conversation, you prefer to use as few words as possible and often choose silence rather than idle chatter. Your friendships and personal associations are rather restricted, being limited to those of a similar nature who can understand and accept your rather straightforward yet reserved manner. Yet, when they get to know you, they realize you are loyal in friendships and would go to any length to help someone in need. 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 prefer to be alone with your own thoughts, rather than in the company of others. A physically active person, you have an appreciation for outdoor recreation, which you prefer to pursue on your own or with one or two close friends who share the same affinity for the peace of nature and the physical challenges it provides. As a result, others withdraw from you as they find you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative. 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.
