How Anthony sounds
A three-syllable name, Anthony often sounds a little more formal and lends itself to a short nickname. Anthony ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. Anthony leaves a gentle, lingering sound, and that rounded shape reads as water. Few names are as widely used in recent U.S. birth records as Anthony, so spelling and pronunciation are never a question. In U.S. birth records Anthony has been given mostly to boys.
The Saju view
The opening of Anthony is a soft, open sound, the signature of earth in the pronunciation-element system. Anthony is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Anthony, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Anthony would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
For Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, Anthony reads as a name from their own element; for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, as a companion. For fire and air signs, the water sound of Anthony pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
