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