The Saju view
Franklin begins with a lip sound, so its leading sound counts as water. The sound of Franklin belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Franklin, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. If fire is already strong in a chart, Franklin ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
