How Gregory sounds
Gregory has three syllables, which gives it a flowing, melodic rhythm. Gregory ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. Say Gregory out loud and it glides from one syllable to the next, which is how the scheme recognizes a water sound. The recent trend for Gregory in U.S. birth records points downward, which suits those who prefer something less common. Most people named Gregory in U.S. birth records are boys.
The Saju view
The opening of Gregory falls in the wood group of the sound-element table, because it is a back-of-the-throat sound. In Saju, Gregory carries wood. That makes it a natural choice for charts where wood is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, wood gives rise to fire, so Gregory earns some credit for charts missing fire. A chart that already holds plenty of wood is better served by another name, since Gregory would add to it.

The astrology view
For Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, Gregory reads as a name from their own element; for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, as a companion. For fire and air signs, the water sound of Gregory pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
