How Amaya sounds
Amaya stretches over three syllables, which adds warmth and a sense of occasion. With a vowel at the end, Amaya has an open, friendly finish. Spoken aloud, Amaya is smooth and melodic, with the softness the sound-element scheme calls water. Amaya has held a steady place in U.S. birth records, neither a fad nor a rarity. U.S. birth records list Amaya overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Say Amaya slowly and the first thing the mouth does is open the throat, a movement the system files under earth. The sound of Amaya belongs to earth, the element of grounding and reliability. A chart short on earth is the one that gains most from such a name. Because earth feeds metal in the cycle of generation, Amaya can also help a chart that is short on metal, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of earth is better served by another name, since Amaya would add to it.

The astrology view
In astrology a water-sounding name like Amaya is a close match for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and a supportive one for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Amaya is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
