Joseph is predominantly a male name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 1,700,000 people named Joseph in the US today.
The name Joseph's root letters are JSF.
The letter S is the symbol for all things sexy, sassy, sensual, slippery, serpentine and sly. And since the letter F (and the PH sound) is the icon for all things fun, physical, festive, phat, flamboyant, flirtatious, flighty, flippant, fresh and friendly; these two whimsical letters suggest a personality of extraordinary vivaciousness and brash sociability. And because the judicious (if somewhat judgmental) letter J initializes these names, these are also people with a tinge of egocentric self-righteousness.
Although most people find it difficult to resist the JSF’s unique appeal, there’s also the school of thought that they sometimes overboard in their sanguinity and many people secretly wish that they would cheer-down just a little bit. But no matter who you are, or what your opinion of the Josephs is, they can probably talk you into buying whatever it is they’re selling. For when it comes to selling, Josephs are as subtle as flying bricks and their enthusiastic optimism almost always proves to be contagious. Although these are potent personalities whose powersof persuasion could be used for all sorts of wicked deeds, the Josephs’ sense of justice is well developed enough to guarantee that they’ll rarely abuse their influence.
Josephs approach their relationships in a similarly frenetic fashion, and once they have deemed you to worthy to be their friend, there’s little you’re going to be able to do about it. Fortunately, these are fiercely loyal people with the belief that friendship is something that should last forever. JSF also rarely forget a good deed, and even if they’re not in a position to return a favor immediately, it’s just a matter of time before you’ll be rewarded with a reciprocal gesture. Life is one big adventure to the Josephs who see the people in their lives as accomplices for their merrymaking. They never want to miss an opportunity for fun and -- thanks to their intuitive powers -- seldom do.
Career choices for a JSF aren’t limited to sales positions; their extroversion lends itself to all kinds of creative expression. Many make their mark as artists, musicians and writers, while law and politics provide fertile soil for their willingness to bend – and occasionally break -- the rules.
Josephs are going to take control of the emotional aspects of their relationships; expecting their partners to sit back and enjoy the ride. So if you’re in love with a JSF, you won’t have much to worry about as long as your feelings are being reciprocated. But Josephs must respect their mates before they’re able to love them, and you’ll have to accept the Josephs philosophy of loyalty uber alles if you expect to preserve balance in your married life.
