How Paisley sounds
The two beats of Paisley give it a natural, conversational flow. Paisley ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. The sound of Paisley hovers and glides rather than lands, a trait filed under air in the scheme used here. More families have been choosing Paisley in recent years, which gives it a modern, up-and-coming feel. U.S. birth records list Paisley overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
The opening of Paisley falls in the water group of the sound-element table, because it is a lip sound. In Saju, Paisley carries water. That makes it a natural choice for charts where water is the thinnest of the five elements. Paisley supports wood from behind: its water sound is the traditional source of that element. If water is already strong in a chart, Paisley ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
