How Shiloh sounds
Two syllables make Shiloh compact enough for everyday use but long enough to carry some melody. A vowel ends Shiloh, which keeps its final beat soft and sung rather than clipped. For the ear, Shiloh is soft, round and flowing, which the scheme counts as a water sound. The recent trend for Shiloh in U.S. birth records points upward, which suits a name that feels new but not strange. Shiloh is used for girls and boys alike in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
Because Shiloh begins with S, Z, SH, CH or J, the system counts its first sound as metal, and the first sound weighs double. In Saju, Shiloh carries metal. That makes it a natural choice for charts where metal is the thinnest of the five elements. Shiloh supports water from behind: its metal sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with metal tend to look elsewhere, as the metal sound of Shiloh would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
For Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, Shiloh reads as a name from their own element; for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, as a companion. Shiloh is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.

Numerology, for reference
Shiloh adds up to an Expression number of 8 in Pythagorean numerology, the number of ambition and achievement. The number 8 is read as the number of ambition, associated with achievement, authority and a head for practical results. Counting only the vowels, Shiloh comes to 6, the number numerologists connect with a loving home. Numerologists link the number 6 with care: responsibility, a warm home and looking after others. The consonants of Shiloh add up to a Personality number of 2, linked with an outward manner that is gentle and approachable. In numerology the number 2 stands for partnership, which is tied to tact, patience and a talent for working with others.
