Forte is also Italian for loud/strong/in a forceful manner. Most commonly referrenced to the intensity of musical notes.
It's a music pun, just like all the other non-man named characters. Gospel's name does not blend with Forte as well as Treble does with Bass. If they were going for that type of musical relation, then Gospel should have really been named Piano, soft. Loud notes are Forte, soft notes are Piano. The musical instrument of the same name was originally called the Forte-Piano since it was the first intstrument that could generate notes of both ranges.
