Your first name of Hampden creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. Although you are knowledgeable and intelligent, your sensitivity and restriction in expression often causes frustration and could limit the satisfaction and success that would otherwise be gained from your responsible and capable nature. You have a sensitive nature--sensitive to your environment and particularly sensitive to how your deeper and more serious interests are regarded by others. You can give expression to your personal thoughts and feelings most fluently through the written word. You work best on your own in fields such as with the products of the earth, real estate, or computer sciences, as long as you have the freedom to make your own decisions. Your feelings are very easily hurt and to protect yourself you withdraw within the realms of your own private thoughts and shut out the rest of the world. You are rather studious, mentally challenging each new idea before accepting it. Craving understanding, love, and affection but disinclined to verbalize your emotions, you may appear cold and aloof to those who would offer kindness. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love. Moods, which are your worst enemy, result.
