How Kobe sounds
With two syllables, Kobe has a balanced, easy rhythm that is simple to say and to call across a room. A vowel ends Kobe, which keeps its final beat soft and sung rather than clipped. There is weight in the way Kobe sounds, with its low, steady consonants and sure landing. Kobe is neither trendy nor rare in U.S. birth records, which makes it a settled, comfortable choice. In U.S. birth records Kobe has been given mostly to boys.
The Saju view
Kobe starts on K or hard G, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the wood group and that this scheme carries over to English. In Saju, Kobe carries wood. That makes it a natural choice for charts where wood is the thinnest of the five elements. Kobe supports fire from behind: its wood sound is the traditional source of that element. If wood is already strong in a chart, Kobe ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn share the earth element with the sound of Kobe, so a Sun, Moon or rising sign in one of them gives the name its strongest ranking. For fire and air signs, the earth sound of Kobe pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
