How Abby sounds

In U.S. birth records Abby has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
Abby starts on a vowel, H, W or Y, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the earth group and that this scheme carries over to English. In Saju, Abby carries earth. That makes it a natural choice for charts where earth is the thinnest of the five elements. Abby supports metal from behind: its earth sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with earth tend to look elsewhere, as the earth sound of Abby would tip the balance further.
