How Paul sounds
With just one syllable, Paul is quick to say and easy to remember. A flowing sound ends Paul, which lets its final beat melt into the air. Paul lands quickly and clearly on the ear, a trait this scheme counts as fire. Fewer families have been choosing Paul lately, which gives it a vintage, understated character. Paul appears mainly as a boy's name in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
In the table of sound elements, Paul starts in water: M, B, P, F or V all belong there. Saju listeners hear water in Paul, the element tied to winter and to wisdom. Charts with little water are the ones it answers best. Because water feeds wood in the cycle of generation, Paul can also help a chart that is short on wood, though less directly. Charts crowded with water tend to look elsewhere, as the water sound of Paul would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
For Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, Paul reads as a name from their own element; for Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, as a companion. Paul is a less natural fit for earth and water signs, whose elements differ from its fire sound.
