How Kennedy sounds
The three beats of Kennedy give it a lyrical quality. Kennedy closes on an open sound, which gives it a light and welcoming ending.

Millions of people know someone called Kennedy, which is what a place among the most common U.S. names looks like. In U.S. birth records Kennedy has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
Counted by its first sound, Kennedy is a wood name, since that sound is made at the back of the throat. Saju listeners hear wood in Kennedy, the element tied to spring and to growth. Charts with little wood are the ones it answers best. Because wood feeds fire in the cycle of generation, Kennedy can also help a chart that is short on fire, though less directly. If wood is already strong in a chart, Kennedy ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
To the ear Kennedy 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 Kennedy as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
