Your name of Braid gives you a strong urge for independence. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. You have known misunderstandings and a tendency to jealousy and moods of depression. Even though you are aware of what is required, it is difficult to convey emotional sentiments such as sympathy or compliments. This name restricts spontaneity in association and the fluency of your verbal expression. Neither sentimental nor idealistic, you take life as it comes and learn as you go. 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. 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. 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.
