The Saju view
Daphne begins with a tongue-tip sound, so its leading sound counts as fire.

In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Daphne earns some credit for charts missing earth. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Daphne would add to it.
