How Sawyer sounds

The two beats of Sawyer give it a natural, conversational flow. Sawyer ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. Its soft, humming consonants make Sawyer sound like water to the ear. Sawyer is on the way up in U.S. birth records, a name that is gaining ground. Sawyer is a flexible, gender-neutral choice in U.S. birth records.

The Saju view

Sawyer 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, Sawyer 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 Sawyer earns some credit for charts missing water. If metal is already strong in a chart, Sawyer ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
