Your first name of Nicholaas gives you the desire for success and financial accumulation and the confidence and drive to go after your ambitions, regardless of obstacles. Your thinking revolves around business and ways of making money, rather than on music, art, drama, or philosophy. Little gestures are not important to you, and you are prone to overlook acts of affection and kindnesses offered by others, and fail to show appreciation where it is warranted. You start new endeavours and incorporate new ideas, but seldom if ever receive the full benefits and financial accumulation for your efforts. You have the will to pursue your goals regardless of obstacles, but this name continually forces you to start over, never allowing you to reap the full benefit of your efforts. You believe in speaking directly and to the point, so you are candid and abrupt. Although you are staunch and loyal, your lack of awareness of the needs of others, combined with your blunt and candid expression, can create hurt feelings that lead to conflict and unhappiness in relationships. An extremely independent and self-sufficient person, you dislike taking orders or advice from anyone. You would be a firm parent and your children would be well-disciplined, but you would find it difficult to get close to them and to show compassion and affection. Those in close association complain that you are not inclined to observe and return acts of kindness, compassion, or affection.
