Derek would make the ideal
bartender; as he has a wonderful facility for listening to people in
a completely unobtrusive manner. Rather than leaping in with advice
after a couple of minutes, which is common of most of us, Derek will
instead patiently listen and nod encouragingly. Clearly, with his
high intelligence and excellent listening skills, Derek would also
make a good psychoanalyst. Derek tends not to push himself forward,
and so probably would be quite happy working in a low key
middle-management role for a large corporation. Derek's main focus is
his family, and once home he really comes alive. There is the life
and soul of the party - a contrast to the quiet demeanor he shows the
outside world most of the time.
The Runic Interpretation
(Kano, Ehwaz, Raido, Ehwaz, Dagaz)
Derek is emotional, moody,
changeable, kind and sometimes cranky. The double Ehwaz energy of
this name tells us that Derek has built a comfortable life for
himself. He values his home and may be a very successful doctor,
minister or restaurant owner. People are willing to support Derek's
ideas, and if he chooses big business, he can make a mark for himself
there. Derek can use the Ehwaz energy to remember that what is good
will come to each of us. As a father, Derek is a wonderful leader
because he has the best interests of his family in mind. He
anticipates their needs, and they willingly follow.
The Numerological Interpretation
(NV=7, CV=6, VV=1, FL=4)
The name Derek denotes a man
who is introspective and analytical by nature. He has the tendency to
search deeply beneath the surface of life's activities in order to
uncover their true meaning. Derek is therefore a philosopher at
heart. Quite happy when investigating his interests, Derek can be
somewhat of a loner. It is not that he avoids intimate contact with
others, but just that he prefers intimate contact with his own inner
world. In partnerships, he will seek others of a similar
disposition.
