Forbes is a male name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 0 people named Forbes in the US today.
The name Forbes's root letters are FB.
When the flighty, flirtatious letter F (or PH phoneme) occurs in the same words as the brash and bold letter B (the symbol of bellicose belligerence), the feminine F and the masculine B struggle to co-exist. This explains why the FB combination produces the awkward qualities found in the words: fumble, fib, feeble, fly-by-night, flub, feeble, and goofball. The only unambiguous aspect of the FB names is their sexual promise: the letter F evokes concepts of fun, feelings and fooling around, while the aggressive B backs this up with its sense of assertive action. There’s very little suave subtlety to the FB personality; just an alluringly sexy character lurking behind a goofy, puppy dog effervescence.
Like most people who flaunt an F name, Forbeses think of themselves rather highly and are hardly discreet about it. And if it’s true that pride comes before a fall, then Forbeses are going to do most of their falling in public. But what might be an embarrassing situation for lesser personalities will sit quite easily with Forbeses, who easily bounce back with their charming and coy charisma. There’s something inherently lovable about these flamboyant people, who always manage to convey a sincerity that appeals to the parental emotions of the opposite sex.
Forbeses have few vices, and -- although they’d never be accused of being profound or sensitive – feel that displaying goodwill towards others to be an important part of their philosophy. It’s not surprising that they integrate themselves into many different social circles, where they can reap the benefits of their extraordinary charms.
Like their love loves, careers for Forbeses often take unpredictable turns… they may start out painting houses and end up doing dairy commercials on cable TV. But in retrospect, these twists are simply byproducts of their unsettled natures and are no cause for alarm. At the end of the day, Forbeses get to enjoy a series of adventures that most of us only dream of.
In their intimate endeavors, the Forbeses’ tendency to exaggerate often creates problems. This natural optimism also works against them when they establish impossibly high standards for their relationships. So it’s best to take the FB’s promises with a grain of salt — or an entire can of Morton’s to play it safe. It’s not that they would ever overtly lie; it’s just that no one – including the Forbeses – can really predict their fickle moods. When Forbeses find their soul mates in a fellow adventurer, the union has a good chance of lasting…. at least until change-of-heart-do-us part.
