How Stella sounds
With two syllables, Stella has a balanced, easy rhythm that is simple to say and to call across a room. Stella ends on an open vowel, which leaves the sound soft and open at the close. Say Stella out loud and it glides from one syllable to the next, which is how the scheme recognizes a water sound. Recent U.S. birth records show Stella rising, so it sounds current without being overused. U.S. birth records list Stella overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Because Stella begins with S, Z, SH, CH or J, the system counts its first sound as metal, and the first sound weighs double. The sound of Stella belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Stella can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. If fire is already strong in a chart, Stella ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
