The Saju view
Counted by its first sound, Evelyn is an earth name, since that sound is made with an open throat and a soft breath. Evelyn is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Evelyn can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Evelyn would add to it.
