How Ali sounds
A two-syllable name, Ali has a steady beat that sits well with a one- or two-syllable surname. The name Ali trails off on a vowel, a gentle ending that carries well when called out. Ali has the smooth, rolling rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with water. Ali is neither trendy nor rare in U.S. birth records, which makes it a settled, comfortable choice. U.S. birth records show Ali shared fairly evenly across girls and boys.
The Saju view
Ali 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. Names that sound like Ali are filed under earth. When a birth chart runs low on earth, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. Ali supports metal from behind: its earth sound is the traditional source of that element. If earth is already strong in a chart, Ali ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces share the water element with the sound of Ali, so a Sun, Moon or rising sign in one of them gives the name its strongest ranking. For fire and air signs, the water sound of Ali pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
