Your first name of Ripley has created contrasting qualities in your nature. You are independent and positive in opinion, original in your thinking, and a stickler for logic and reason. Efficiency is critical to you, however, there are times when your over-exacting and meticulous ways create misunderstandings. You could be inventive along practical, mechanical lines. You can be very analytical, exacting, and patient as long as there is a challenge holding your interest, such as in the field of computers with its technical challenge. When your interest is exhausted, you switch to something else even though it means leaving your undertakings unfinished. You cannot stand ridicule nor appreciate a joke at your expense. Good manners, reliability, and honesty are important to you, and you expect them in others. This name makes you inquisitive and scientific in your approach to life, requiring everything to be proved to satisfy your skepticism. Your first impressions of situations or people are usually accurate, although there are times when you are too naïve, causing you to trust people who then let you down.
