How Hunter sounds
Hunter has two syllables, the most common rhythm for English first names. The last sound of Hunter is a vowel, so the name fades out gently instead of stopping. Hunter is built from soft, running sounds, which this scheme counts as water. Hunter is a top-ranked name in U.S. birth records of the last few decades, familiar and well loved. Hunter appears mainly as a boy's name in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
Hunter starts on a vowel, H, W or Y, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the earth group and that this scheme carries over to English. Names that sound like Hunter are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Hunter earns some credit for charts missing earth. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Hunter would add to it.
