About the Name Sabrina

The name Sabrina's root letters are SB.

The letter B -- with its brash and booming resonance – implies a certain belligerence when it appears in words and names.  Its low frequency tones are responsible for the words bash, beat, break, battle, burly and beast, and even when in occurs in words initialized by the sassy letter S, takes on the somber tones found in the words: saber, sable, scrub, scab, stab, stumble, subpoena, subversion, and snub. These names suggest people with intensely focused dispositions and a formidable desire to imprint their personalities onto the world.

Sabrinas are determined not to rely on luck when it comes to their professional lives and actually seem to enjoy the kind of sweaty preparation that it takes to succeed. Even though most people whose names begin with the letter S aren’t exactly overburdened by motivation, Sabrinas always seem to be on a mission.  Some people think that Sabrinas are driven by financial rewards, while others just see their single-mindedness as a way for them to avoid intimacy. Either way, professions for Sabrinas usually include plenty of routine and limited familiarity with people. If they happen to be the boss, then they’re going to behave like one: dignified, knowledgeable and even a little rigid.  And even when they’re not leading the way, Sabrinas chafe at being held to anyone else’s schedule: they are trailblazers in the extreme and are confident that they know their way around the universe.

Although Sabrinas can be generous to a fault, it’s unlikely that your SB friend would ever ask you for a loan. In most cases it’s because they have a rainy-day approach to money, but it’s also a symptom of their fierce internal pride. You’ll have to give your SB friends some credit for their idealism, but be aware that it comes with a tendency for them to close their eyes to reality (particularly evident when one of their intimate relationships is souring). They are much more likely to judge people by their words than they are their actions, and even if everyone else can see the writing on the wall, Sabrinas will act as if everything is hunky-dory. 

In their intimate goings-on, Sabrinas are active and sexually inquisitive people who will go to any lengths to keep their relationships exciting and fresh. Those Sabrinas who apply their focused business techniques to their relationships are likely to get nowhere fast, but since most Sabrinas are smarter than that, they usually scale back their intensity when it comes to wooing. Because these dynamic individuals make it their business to understand their lover’s strengths and weaknesses, it can be hard to resist the lure of an SB courtship. So iIf an SB has you targeted for a marriage partner, you might as well call the caterer.
