How Israel sounds
Three syllables make Israel fuller and more musical than a short name. With a liquid consonant at the end, Israel has a mellow, lingering finish. Israel flows, with liquid consonants and a rolling rhythm that this scheme counts as water. The popularity of Israel in U.S. birth records has stayed even, so it will not date quickly. U.S. birth records list Israel overwhelmingly for boys.
The Saju view
The opening of Israel falls in the earth group of the sound-element table, because it is a soft, open sound. In Saju, Israel carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. Israel supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Israel would add to it.

The astrology view
To the ear Israel sounds water, the element of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn find it a friendly partner. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Israel as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
