How Chris sounds
Chris is a single syllable, which gives it a direct, compact feel when spoken. With a breathy consonant at the end, Chris has an airy, tapering finish. Chris has the quick, bright rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with air. In U.S. birth records Chris keeps a calm, constant presence, familiar without being everywhere. Most people named Chris in U.S. birth records are boys.
The Saju view
Because Chris begins with K or hard G, the system counts its first sound as wood, and the first sound weighs double. In Saju, Chris carries wood. That makes it a natural choice for charts where wood is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, wood gives rise to fire, so Chris earns some credit for charts missing fire. Charts crowded with wood tend to look elsewhere, as the wood sound of Chris would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
Gemini, Libra and Aquarius share the air element with the sound of Chris, so a Sun, Moon or rising sign in one of them gives the name its strongest ranking. Chris is a less natural fit for earth and water signs, whose elements differ from its air sound.
