The Saju view
Erin opens with a soft, open sound, such as a vowel, H, W or Y, which the pronunciation-element tradition files under earth. Names that sound like Erin are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. Erin supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Erin would add to it.
