How Devon sounds
Devon has two syllables, the most common rhythm for English first names. The name Devon settles on a hum, a soothing ending that carries well. Its whispery consonants make Devon sound like air to the ear. Recent U.S. birth records show Devon used less often than before, so it stands out a little today. In U.S. birth records Devon has been given to both girls and boys, so it works for any child.
The Saju view
Devon opens with a tongue-tip sound, such as T, D, N, L or R, which the pronunciation-element tradition files under fire. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Devon is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Devon supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Devon would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
In astrology an air-sounding name like Devon is a close match for Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, and a supportive one for Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Devon is a less natural fit for earth and water signs, whose elements differ from its air sound.
