Your first name of Whitlaw creates a serious, thoughtful nature, shrewd, efficient, and business-minded. In times of need, others are drawn to your forthright, matter-of-fact manner. Being relaxed and spontaneous in social or formal situations is sometimes challenging, as you often value time on your own more highly. You do not change your mind readily. As you are staunch in friendship, you can be depended upon for guidance and assistance. Being self-assured and self-reliant, you are naturally inclined toward operating your own business or pursuing opportunities where your sense of freedom would not be curtailed. By nature you are serious, thoughtful, and studious. It is sometimes challenging for you to listen to and understand the viewpoints of others because your opinions are strong, carefully thought out, and sensible. Your positive manner and outlook can make others feel that you are imposing your will on them and even interfering in their affairs. In your personal relations with others, you are inclined to be rather serious, and not to see the humour others see, or to respond spontaneously.
