How Mariah sounds
The three beats of Mariah give it a lyrical quality. Mariah closes on an open sound, which gives it a light and welcoming ending. Mariah has the smooth, rolling rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with water. Recent U.S. birth records show Mariah used less often than before, so it stands out a little today. In U.S. birth records Mariah has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
The first sound of Mariah is made with the lips, and the sound-element system used here counts that as water. Mariah is a water name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack water. Because water feeds wood in the cycle of generation, Mariah can also help a chart that is short on wood, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of water is better served by another name, since Mariah would add to it.

The astrology view
To the ear Mariah 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. Mariah is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
