How Desiree sounds
A three-syllable name, Desiree often sounds a little more formal and lends itself to a short nickname. Desiree ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. Desiree has a light, airy sound with soft breathy consonants and bright vowels, which this scheme counts as air. Desiree is less common in recent U.S. birth records than it once was, which can make it feel classic or distinctive. Desiree appears mainly as a girl's name in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
Say Desiree slowly and the first thing the mouth does is touch the tongue to the ridge behind the teeth, a movement the system files under fire. The sound of Desiree belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Desiree, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Desiree would add to it.

The astrology view
To the ear Desiree sounds air, the element of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Aries, Leo and Sagittarius find it a friendly partner. For earth and water signs, the air sound of Desiree pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
