Your name of Kranz gives you a strong urge for independence. Preferring the simple life, you are content to forego the comforts and amenities that many people regard as essential. 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. 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. 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. Usually, you would prefer to develop your own business or to work for someone who appreciates your strengths and personal qualities. 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 stick stubbornly to your ideas or decisions, in spite of any appeals or advice; you are not willing to accept a compromise. You work best where you can combine physical labour and prefer to work where you can spend time outdoors. There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines.
