I'm having trouble finding the right word.

I want to do research on how certain phonemes effect people emotionally. For example, why does the name Sarah strike us as being softer than the name Kat? Obviously, the K and T strike is as being much harsher than the S and the H but, psychologically speaking, why?

What should I research? Phonology?
