How Jennifer sounds
A three-syllable name, Jennifer often sounds a little more formal and lends itself to a short nickname. Jennifer ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. Say Jennifer out loud and it glides from one syllable to the next, which is how the scheme recognizes a water sound. The recent trend for Jennifer in U.S. birth records points downward, which suits those who prefer something less common. U.S. birth records list Jennifer overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Because Jennifer begins with S, Z, SH, CH or J, the system counts its first sound as metal, and the first sound weighs double. If your Four Pillars show little metal, Jennifer is worth a closer look: its metal sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Jennifer 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 Jennifer would add to it.

The astrology view
In astrology a water-sounding name like Jennifer is a close match for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and a supportive one for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Jennifer as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
