Your name of Bouma gives you a strong urge for independence. You prefer to be alone with your own thoughts, rather than in the company of others. Even though you are aware of what is required, it is difficult to convey emotional sentiments such as sympathy or compliments. Your name often makes you feel separate and alone. Usually, you would prefer to develop your own business or to work for someone who appreciates your strengths and personal qualities. Nothing intimidates you once you make up your mind. As a result, others withdraw from you as they find you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative. Neither sentimental nor idealistic, you take life as it comes and learn as you go. There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines. You work best where you can combine physical labour and prefer to work where you can spend time outdoors.
