How Jeremiah sounds
With four or more syllables, Jeremiah is spacious and rhythmic, and often comes with a friendly short form. Jeremiah ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. A water sound runs through Jeremiah: smooth, gentle and unhurried. Few names are as widely used in recent U.S. birth records as Jeremiah, so spelling and pronunciation are never a question. In U.S. birth records Jeremiah has been given mostly to boys.
The Saju view
Jeremiah starts on S, Z, SH, CH or J, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the metal group and that this scheme carries over to English. In Saju, Jeremiah carries metal. That makes it a natural choice for charts where metal is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, metal gives rise to water, so Jeremiah earns some credit for charts missing water. If metal is already strong in a chart, Jeremiah ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
In astrology a water-sounding name like Jeremiah 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 Jeremiah as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
