How Mark sounds
Mark is a single syllable, which gives it a direct, compact feel when spoken. The name Mark lands on a stop, a clean ending that is easy to hear. Mark has the percussive, forward-leaning rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with fire.

The Saju view
The opening of Mark falls in the water group of the sound-element table, because it is a lip sound. In Saju, Mark carries water. That makes it a natural choice for charts where water is the thinnest of the five elements. Mark supports wood from behind: its water sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of water is better served by another name, since Mark would add to it.

The astrology view
To the ear Mark sounds fire, the element of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Gemini, Libra and Aquarius find it a friendly partner. For earth and water signs, the fire sound of Mark pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
