How Hector sounds
Two syllables make Hector compact enough for everyday use but long enough to carry some melody. With a vowel at the end, Hector has an open, friendly finish. Hector has the percussive, forward-leaning rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with fire. Recent U.S. birth records show Hector used less often than before, so it stands out a little today. Most people named Hector in U.S. birth records are boys.
The Saju view
Say Hector slowly and the first thing the mouth does is open the throat, a movement the system files under earth. Saju listeners hear earth in Hector, the element tied to the turn between seasons and to steadiness. Charts with little earth are the ones it answers best. Because earth feeds metal in the cycle of generation, Hector can also help a chart that is short on metal, though less directly. Charts crowded with earth tend to look elsewhere, as the earth sound of Hector would tip the balance further.
