Your first name of Nivard has given you a quick, analytical mind. However, independence, positivity and the urge for action and progress are such strong forces in your nature that you find it difficult to control them. Once you have given your word and undertaken a commitment, you are completely steadfast in following through in spite of any regret or frustration you may later experience in doing so. In your dealings with people you place great importance in living up to one's word. However you must beware of driving yourself to exhaustion as a substitute for relaxation. Your self-sufficient and self-reliant nature gave you the urge to leave home early in life to be free from parental restraint, and to establish your independence and freedom from tradition. Your nervous intensity could cause indigestion and, over time, could lead to ulcers and severe stomach problems. This name creates a desire to be a leader, to pioneer new undertakings, and to try new ideas in practical, creative endeavours that provide an outlet for your versatility and imagination. Routine, monotony, and the responsibility of looking after details can have a similar effect on you, as you are a person who desires change, travel, and new experiences. The effect of the nervous tension can appear in childhood as stuttering.
