How Samara sounds
Samara stretches over three syllables, which adds warmth and a sense of occasion. Samara ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. A water sound runs through Samara: smooth, gentle and unhurried. Samara is on the way up in U.S. birth records, a name that is gaining ground. Samara appears mainly as a girl's name in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
Samara starts on S, Z, SH, CH or J, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the metal group and that this scheme carries over to English. If your Four Pillars show little metal, Samara is worth a closer look: its metal sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, metal gives rise to water, so Samara earns some credit for charts missing water. Charts crowded with metal tend to look elsewhere, as the metal sound of Samara would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
