How Mariana sounds
Four or more syllables give Mariana a rich, unhurried sound. Mariana ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. Say Mariana out loud and it glides from one syllable to the next, which is how the scheme recognizes a water sound. Mariana has held a steady place in U.S. birth records, neither a fad nor a rarity. U.S. birth records list Mariana overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Because Mariana begins with M, B, P, F or V, the system counts its first sound as water, and the first sound weighs double. Saju listeners hear fire in Mariana, the element tied to summer and to warmth. Charts with little fire are the ones it answers best. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Mariana 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 Mariana would tip the balance further.
