How Lincoln sounds
Two syllables make Lincoln compact enough for everyday use but long enough to carry some melody. Lincoln ends on a nasal sound, which gives it a warm, humming finish. Spoken aloud, Lincoln is smooth and melodic, with the softness the sound-element scheme calls water. Few names are as widely used in recent U.S. birth records as Lincoln, so spelling and pronunciation are never a question. Most people named Lincoln in U.S. birth records are boys.
The Saju view
In the table of sound elements, Lincoln starts in fire: T, D, N, L or R all belong there. Lincoln is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Lincoln can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Lincoln would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
Lincoln ranks highest in charts led by water, which means the signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Charts led by Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn come next. Lincoln is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
