How Grady sounds
Two syllables make Grady compact enough for everyday use but long enough to carry some melody. A vowel ends Grady, which keeps its final beat soft and sung rather than clipped. Grady has the deliberate, even rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with earth. The popularity of Grady in U.S. birth records has stayed even, so it will not date quickly. Most people named Grady in U.S. birth records are boys.
The Saju view
Because Grady begins with K or hard G, the system counts its first sound as wood, and the first sound weighs double. Names that sound like Grady are filed under wood. When a birth chart runs low on wood, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, wood gives rise to fire, so Grady earns some credit for charts missing fire. If wood is already strong in a chart, Grady ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
