The Saju view
Fabian begins with a lip sound, so its leading sound counts as water. In Saju, Fabian carries water. That makes it a natural choice for charts where water is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, water gives rise to wood, so Fabian earns some credit for charts missing wood. Charts crowded with water tend to look elsewhere, as the water sound of Fabian would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
To the ear Fabian sounds air, the element of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Aries, Leo and Sagittarius find it a friendly partner. Fabian is a less natural fit for earth and water signs, whose elements differ from its air sound.
