With its brash and booming resonance, the letter B reminds us of a belligerent, bucking bronco, whilethe cutting K sound (or hard C) evokes the images in the words crack, crash, kick, king, kill, careen, clip, and knuckle-sandwich. Together, the B and K are so forcefully aggressive (break, bonk, buck, block, brisk and bushwhack) that it’s clear that no one with an RBK name could ever be accused of being a milquetoast. Even when the BK combination appears in words softened by the racy, romantic and randy letter R, the ensuing words have an unmistakably assertive air: rebuke, razorback, bark, bulwark, brisk, brick, break, and berserk. All told, it’s not surprising that RBK people have reputations for being as unyielding as petrified oak and as reliable as gravity.
Making friends with such sanguine sprites can be a tricky mission at the best of times. The problem is that most RBKs show little interest in casual relationships, preferring the intimacy that comes with intense one-on-one relationships instead. The best approach to befriending these absorbed individuals is to remember that they distrust neediness in others and respond best when their friends affect attitudes of oblique interest. Even close personal friends find RBKs somewhat enigmatic, but would never question their strength of character or their resolve to reach their full potential.
Despite their social reserve, RBKs can be quite emotional at times. They bond quite deeply and often find themselves entangled in darkly obsessive types of relationships from which they find it hard to emerge. Many RBKs have love adventures that could rival a soap opera, but since they are not ones to kiss and tell, you’re not going to hear about these exploits first-hand.
The RBK’s feminine wiles combine with her masculine drive to make for an intimidating combination in the workplace, and her inner toughness is perfect for law, medicine or business. But there’s still enough of the girl in the RBK to attract her to design, teaching and people-management. As workers, they have an abiding sense of responsibility towards their employers and would think little of working overtime if it meant getting the job done perfectly.
