How Thomas sounds
Thomas has two syllables, the most common rhythm for English first names. Thomas closes on a whispery sound, which gives it a delicate ending. For the ear, Thomas is quick, warm and sharp-edged, which the scheme counts as a fire sound. Few names are as widely used in recent U.S. birth records as Thomas, so spelling and pronunciation are never a question. U.S. birth records list Thomas overwhelmingly for boys.
The Saju view
Because Thomas begins with T, D, N, L or R, the system counts its first sound as fire, and the first sound weighs double. In Saju, Thomas carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. Thomas supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Thomas would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
Thomas ranks highest in charts led by fire, which means the signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Charts led by Gemini, Libra and Aquarius come next. Thomas is a less natural fit for earth and water signs, whose elements differ from its fire sound.

Numerology, for reference
Counting each letter of Thomas by the Pythagorean table gives 22, a number associated with practical vision and large goals. In numerology the number 22 stands for building, which is tied to turning big visions into lasting, practical things. Counting only the vowels, Thomas comes to 7, the number numerologists connect with understanding. The number 7 is read as the number of reflection, associated with study, privacy and a search for deeper understanding. The consonants of Thomas add up to a Personality number of 6, linked with an outward manner that is warm and responsible. Numerologists link the number 6 with care: responsibility, a warm home and looking after others.
