Bob: I’m doing the video speeches for this celebration thanking the three brothers. Do you have anything to say? How have they influenced you?

Sue: I’d like to thank them for giving me an intuition that has been invaluable in my daily life. Also, they have given me a general attitude of enthusiasm, and made me more self-sufficient, creative, and spontaneous.

Bob: Wow! How else have they affected you?

Sue: Well, Aaron has made me adventurous and courageous, Sam has made me more independent and optimistic, and Lenny has made me more confident and loyal.

Bob: Great! So… all positives then?

Sue: Well, on the other hand, they can make me bossy, quick-tempered, and melodramatic at times, but I am working on that!

What are the real names of these brothers, and what are they?

Hint #1

All three brothers are very warm, no doubt

Thanks to the hint, the three brothers are

the three Fire signs of the Zodiac. People born under the sign of Aaron/Aries are known to be adventurous and courageous. People born under the sign of Sam/Sagittarius are more independent and optimistic. People born under the sign of Lenny/Leo are confident and loyal.

Also,

people born under these three fire signs are known to be bossy, quick-tempered, and melodramatic at times.

    $\begingroup$ @JLee Does your comment explain how a person can have 3 signs when they can only be born on one date? (I'm not really familiar with astrology.) $\endgroup$

Partial Answer (Thanks to A E)

Could it be that:

Aaron is Adrenaline, which makes makes people more adventurous and courageous. Sam is Serotonin, which helps make people 'feel well' and become more optimistic. As for Lenny...He is still a mystery to me.

OK, following the theme of matching initial letters, let's go with

- Alcohol
- Self-esteem, and
- Love.

I have severe doubts about at least one of these :-)

Let's try these ones:

- Art
- Science
- Money (aka filthy Lucre :-) )

... and failing that, totally abandoning first letters:

- Family
- Work
- Church

Ok, initial gut reaction, because it's 3 elements that influence behavior:

Id, Ego, and Super-ego

?
