How Jakob sounds
The two beats of Jakob give it a natural, conversational flow. Jakob closes on a firm sound, which gives it a sure, businesslike ending. Jakob has the percussive, forward-leaning rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with fire. Recent U.S. birth records show Jakob used less often than before, so it stands out a little today. Most people named Jakob in U.S. birth records are boys.
The Saju view
Because Jakob begins with S, Z, SH, CH or J, the system counts its first sound as metal, and the first sound weighs double. In Saju, Jakob carries metal. That makes it a natural choice for charts where metal is the thinnest of the five elements. Jakob supports water from behind: its metal sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of metal is better served by another name, since Jakob would add to it.

The astrology view
To the ear Jakob sounds fire, the element of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Gemini, Libra and Aquarius find it a friendly partner. For earth and water signs, the fire sound of Jakob pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
