How Paola sounds
With two syllables, Paola has a balanced, easy rhythm that is simple to say and to call across a room. With a vowel at the end, Paola has an open, friendly finish. Paola has the percussive, forward-leaning rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with fire. Fewer families have been choosing Paola lately, which gives it a vintage, understated character. U.S. birth records list Paola overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Because Paola begins with M, B, P, F or V, the system counts its first sound as water, and the first sound weighs double. Names that sound like Paola are filed under water. When a birth chart runs low on water, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. Paola 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 Paola would add to it.

The astrology view
To the ear Paola 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. Charts led by earth and water signs hear the fire sound of Paola as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
