The Saju view
The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Declan it is fire, made with the tip of the tongue. Declan is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Declan, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Declan would add to it.
