How Caitlyn sounds
A two-syllable name, Caitlyn has a steady beat that sits well with a one- or two-syllable surname. The last sound of Caitlyn resonates through the nose, so the name closes with a soft hum. A fire sound runs through Caitlyn: short, lively and clear. Caitlyn has slipped in U.S. birth records in recent years, a name that now reads as timeless rather than trendy. In U.S. birth records Caitlyn has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
Counted by its first sound, Caitlyn is a wood name, since that sound is made at the back of the throat. In Saju, Caitlyn carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Caitlyn earns some credit for charts missing earth. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Caitlyn would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
For Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, Caitlyn reads as a name from their own element; for Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, as a companion. Charts led by earth and water signs hear the fire sound of Caitlyn as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
