The letter
S and the soft pronunciation of the
C evoke the air of sexual promise found in the words
sexy, sultry, soft, sassy, sensual, sin and
slinky. And because the
lusty letter
L is the symbol of all things
lively, laughing and
life-loving, its combination with the letter
S stirs up an unmistakable sense of unbridled carnality:
flesh, classy, lush, lust, and
flush. These names suggest people who are in love with life and who infect those around them with bubbly idealism.
Spontaneity is the key to the
LS's allure and they conduct their lives with unique flair and in their own particular time. If you're the structured, morally rigid type and happen to work in a cubicle next to an
LS, they'll probably prove to be the bane of your life. For
LSs respect no boundaries and follow no rules when it comes to finding conspirators for their energetic lifestyles. They'll alternately charm you and drive you insane with their coy ways but you could never deny that they know how to have a good time.
LSs are drawn to careers in which they can show off their talents for design and creative thinking. But since it takes them a little longer than most to find their paths in life, it's not unusual to find them working in McJobs until they get their act together. Climbing the corporate ladder isn't the
LSs cup of tea, and if their work doesn't fit into a conventional niche, it really isn't a big concern. They'd sooner be starving writers than stuffed into a pigeonhole in some anonymous office. The
LSs impulsive natures may cost them dearly when it comes to their long-term careers but they're surprisingly savvy when it comes to financial matters. When they're lucky enough to find a job that highlights their fiduciary acumen and people skills, they're capable of doing anything from running restaurants to controlling corporations.
LSs are quick learners when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex and because their emotional states are neither subtle nor hidden, prospective mates never have to wonder what they're thinking. But when it comes to courtship,
LSs can be quite a handful; these playful sprites are infected with a wonderlust that the more sedate among us might find rather difficult to stomach. Stable unions are more likely found, therefore, with mates who can tolerate their penchant for socializing and balance the
LSs extoverted nature with grounded reserve.

Lisa can make men feel very uncomfortable--a skill of which she is well aware and that she enjoys immensely. Lisa is attractive in her self-confidence. Her best feature is likely to be her eyes, which suggest that Lisa knows exactly what you're thinking about. Indeed, Lisa has a good understanding of what makes people tick, as she is an excellent listener. Her friends will often seek her out when they have a dilemma that they can't resolve alone. Lisa herself is rarely in this position, since she has a very decisive nature. While her strong personality may put some people off, there are plenty of prospective partners who will appreciate a woman who knows her own mind.
Lisa is patient, and can focus with great concentration on highly detailed work. She could be an accomplished editor, conductor, writer, painter of miniatures, or succeed in any number of careers that reward a detail-oriented personality. Lisa is intuitive and perceptive. She can read between the lines. To some, Lisa can seem too skeptical and negative; this is just her attempt to avoid gullibility. Once Lisa trusts, she can be warm and vulnerable. She is an original thinker and a superb student of human nature.
Elements: Air, air, earth, water
The Numerological Interpretation
Lisa leads a very busy life, as her world is one of constantly shifting circumstances. The numbers in this name speak of a highly individualistic person, a woman who has a definite sense of herself and she will use her multifaceted personality to acquire the material objects she needs and desires. Lisa must have an exciting partner, one who is also financially secure or who atleast shows financial promise.
poems found on the net:
(Copyright by Nicholas Gordon)
Lisa is a sunlit bowl of fruit,
Indian-summer sweet, like juice just pressed:
Still-life apples, grapes in dew drops dressed,
And pregnant pears plucked mellowing and mute.
Lisa loves the flavor of a riff.
In off-tone twists she practices her art:
Songs so full of knowing, it's as if
A moon had pulled her tears out past her heart.
Lisa is a lover of the morning,
In whom there plays the music of the spheres.
So may she enjoy eternal dawning
As she listens to what no one hears.
