The Saju view
Cole opens with a back-of-the-throat sound, such as K or hard G, which the pronunciation-element tradition files under wood. Names that sound like Cole are filed under wood. When a birth chart runs low on wood, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, wood gives rise to fire, so Cole earns some credit for charts missing fire. If wood is already strong in a chart, Cole ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
