How Ava sounds
A two-syllable name, Ava has a steady beat that sits well with a one- or two-syllable surname. Ava closes on an open sound, which gives it a light and welcoming ending. An air sound runs through Ava: quick, bright and easy. Ava is a top-ranked name in U.S. birth records of the last few decades, familiar and well loved. Most people named Ava in U.S. birth records are girls.
The Saju view
Because Ava begins with a vowel, H, W or Y, the system counts its first sound as earth, and the first sound weighs double. If your Four Pillars show little earth, Ava is worth a closer look: its earth sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, earth gives rise to metal, so Ava earns some credit for charts missing metal. If earth is already strong in a chart, Ava ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
