How Reid sounds
Reid has one syllable, so there is little room for nicknames to shorten it. A hard consonant ends Reid, which keeps its final beat short and clear. Its round, weighty consonants make Reid sound like earth to the ear. The popularity of Reid in U.S. birth records has stayed even, so it will not date quickly. U.S. birth records list Reid overwhelmingly for boys.
The Saju view
The opening of Reid falls in the fire group of the sound-element table, because it is a tongue-tip sound. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Reid is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Reid supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Reid would add to it.

The astrology view
