How Beau sounds
A one-syllable name, Beau lands in a single beat, which tends to read as firm and clear. A vowel ends Beau, which keeps its final beat soft and sung rather than clipped. Beau has a grounded, steady sound with weighty consonants, which this scheme counts as earth. Recent U.S. birth records show Beau rising, so it sounds current without being overused. In U.S. birth records Beau has been given mostly to boys.
The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Beau belongs to water, since it is made with the lips. Names that sound like Beau are filed under water. When a birth chart runs low on water, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, water gives rise to wood, so Beau earns some credit for charts missing wood. Charts crowded with water tend to look elsewhere, as the water sound of Beau would tip the balance further.
