The Saju view
Alaina starts on a vowel, H, W or Y, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the earth group and that this scheme carries over to English. Names that sound like Alaina are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Alaina earns some credit for charts missing earth.
