How Sara sounds
With two syllables, Sara has a balanced, easy rhythm that is simple to say and to call across a room. Sara ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. For the ear, Sara is soft, round and flowing, which the scheme counts as a water sound. Fewer families have been choosing Sara lately, which gives it a vintage, understated character. U.S. birth records list Sara overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Sara opens with a hissing, teeth-edge sound, such as S, Z, SH, CH or J, which the pronunciation-element tradition files under metal. Names that sound like Sara are filed under metal. When a birth chart runs low on metal, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. Sara supports water from behind: its metal sound is the traditional source of that element. If metal is already strong in a chart, Sara ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
For Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, Sara reads as a name from their own element; for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, as a companion. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Sara as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
