How Nehemiah sounds
Four or more syllables give Nehemiah a rich, unhurried sound. With a vowel at the end, Nehemiah has an open, friendly finish. Say Nehemiah out loud and it glides from one syllable to the next, which is how the scheme recognizes a water sound. In U.S. birth records Nehemiah keeps a calm, constant presence, familiar without being everywhere. Most people named Nehemiah in U.S. birth records are boys.
The Saju view
In the table of sound elements, Nehemiah starts in fire: T, D, N, L or R all belong there. The sound of Nehemiah belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Nehemiah 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 Nehemiah would tip the balance further.
