The Saju view
Counted by its first sound, Kaitlyn is a wood name, since that sound is made at the back of the throat. Names that sound like Kaitlyn are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Kaitlyn earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Kaitlyn ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
