How Faith sounds
Faith has one syllable, so there is little room for nicknames to shorten it. The name Faith ends on a breath, a light ending that feels quick and bright. For the ear, Faith is light, bright and quick, which the scheme counts as an air sound. Few names are as widely used in recent U.S. birth records as Faith, so spelling and pronunciation are never a question. In U.S. birth records Faith has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
The opening of Faith is a lip sound, the signature of water in the pronunciation-element system. Saju listeners hear water in Faith, the element tied to winter and to wisdom. Charts with little water are the ones it answers best. Because water feeds wood in the cycle of generation, Faith can also help a chart that is short on wood, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of water is better served by another name, since Faith would add to it.

The astrology view
In astrology an air-sounding name like Faith is a close match for Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, and a supportive one for Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. For earth and water signs, the air sound of Faith pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.

Numerology, for reference
Counting each letter of Faith by the Pythagorean table gives 8, a number associated with achievement and authority. Numerologists link the number 8 with ambition: achievement, authority and a head for practical results. The vowels of Faith add up to a Soul Urge number of 1, linked with an inner wish for independence. In numerology the number 1 stands for leadership, which is tied to starting things, standing on your own and going first. Counting only the consonants, Faith comes to 7, the number numerologists connect with someone who seems thoughtful and reserved. The number 7 is read as the number of reflection, associated with study, privacy and a search for deeper understanding.
