How Kingston sounds
Two syllables make Kingston compact enough for everyday use but long enough to carry some melody. With a nasal consonant at the end, Kingston has a rounded, gentle finish. For the ear, Kingston is soft, round and flowing, which the scheme counts as a water sound. More families have been choosing Kingston in recent years, which gives it a modern, up-and-coming feel. Most people named Kingston in U.S. birth records are boys.
The Saju view
Kingston opens with a back-of-the-throat sound, such as K or hard G, which the pronunciation-element tradition files under wood. In Saju, Kingston carries wood. That makes it a natural choice for charts where wood is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, wood gives rise to fire, so Kingston earns some credit for charts missing fire. Charts crowded with wood tend to look elsewhere, as the wood sound of Kingston would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
For Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, Kingston reads as a name from their own element; for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, as a companion. Kingston is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
