Barnaby - Detailed Meaning

Your name of Barnaby gives you a great desire to help people and draws you towards positions of philanthropic service. Amiable and diplomatic, generous and sympathetic, you make friends easily. People come to you seeking solutions to their problems because of your ability to sense their feelings and to give good advice. If those around you are quarrelling, you try to create understanding between them.
 
Yours is a quick mind and you can usually think of something to say when there is a need to offset or deflect an unpleasant situation, sometimes finding it necessary to stretch the truth a little in the process. You want very much for everyone to be happy and friendly. Since your life is people-oriented, you must hold confidences shared with you and guard your tongue against a tendency to gossip.
 

 
There are times in your life when others are apt to take advantage because you find it difficult to say "no" especially if your sympathies are appealed to. Being sensitive and idealistic, you thrive on encouragement and appreciation. You do not like to stand alone. As you often experience difficulty in making decisions, you tend to depend on others to give you support and confidence to follow through on your decisions. Under stressful and intense situations, it is a challenge to maintain an even temperament as you are extreme in your feelings: optimistic and happy one moment, despondent and self-pitying the next.
 

 
You must guard against outbursts of temper. Because you are intuitive and impressionable, at times even psychic, you are influenced by your surroundings and the thoughts and feelings of others, including their suffering. This sensitivity contributes to your variable nature, and can lead to uncontrolled, disturbing thoughts. Though you have the best of intentions, you dislike facing issues and procrastination could be your worst enemy. There may be a tendency to make impractical promises that satisfy the situation for the moment.
 

 
Any monotonous activities that require system, order, and concentration are delayed until you are forced to take action. As a result, your efforts tend to be scattered and unsuccessful. You appreciate music, drama, and art. If given the training, you could excel in creative self-expression, particularly in playing an instrument, in speech arts, or in dancing. Fashionable clothes and refined surroundings would add to your poise and self-assurance. As you enjoy spending money and are generous, you must be wary of those who would appeal to your feelings and encourage you to spend beyond your means.
 

 
The qualities of this name cause sensitivities in the nervous system that could affect your health. Plenty of rest and relaxation is needed in order to handle responsibilities. If you drive yourself, you will experience nervous problems and challenges in maintaining your equilibrium. In worst cases, nervous breakdowns and loss of memory could occur. You could experience physical problems in the fluid functions that would appear as kidney, bladder, or prostate disorders, or as poor circulation in the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
