How Christopher sounds
Christopher has three syllables, which gives it a flowing, melodic rhythm. A vowel ends Christopher, which keeps its final beat soft and sung rather than clipped. Christopher 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 Christopher, so spelling and pronunciation are never a question. In U.S. birth records Christopher has been given mostly to boys.
The Saju view
Christopher starts on K or hard G, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the wood group and that this scheme carries over to English. In Saju, Christopher carries wood. That makes it a natural choice for charts where wood is the thinnest of the five elements. Christopher supports fire from behind: its wood sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with wood tend to look elsewhere, as the wood sound of Christopher would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
In astrology a water-sounding name like Christopher is a close match for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and a supportive one for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Christopher is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
