Ermelindo! A name that sounds like a wise great-uncle or a fairy tale hero with a foam beard. Of Germanic origin, it combines "heri" (army) and "wind" (friend), so basically you are a "warrior friend" with style. It's not one of those names used every day, which makes you unique, weird, and very memorable.
Your personality is that strange mix between a calm grandfather and a retired pirate. You are loyal, a bit stubborn (like a door that closes by itself), but with a dry humor that saves you from awkward situations. People seek you out to ask for advice, even when they didn't ask for it.

In love, you are the type who writes handwritten letters (or long voice messages) and expects an equally detailed response. You don't like mind games; you prefer a clear relationship, with clear rules and perhaps a big dog. If you fall in love, you become protective, although sometimes you seem more like a security guard than a passionate lover.
