How Asher sounds
With two syllables, Asher has a balanced, easy rhythm that is simple to say and to call across a room. A vowel ends Asher, which keeps its final beat soft and sung rather than clipped. Say Asher out loud and it glides from one syllable to the next, which is how the scheme recognizes a water sound. Asher is a top-ranked name in U.S. birth records of the last few decades, familiar and well loved. Most people named Asher in U.S. birth records are boys.
The Saju view
Counted by its first sound, Asher is an earth name, since that sound is made with an open throat and a soft breath. Saju listeners hear earth in Asher, the element tied to the turn between seasons and to steadiness. Charts with little earth are the ones it answers best. Because earth feeds metal in the cycle of generation, Asher can also help a chart that is short on metal, though less directly. Charts crowded with earth tend to look elsewhere, as the earth sound of Asher would tip the balance further.
