The Saju view
Khalil begins with a back-of-the-throat sound, so its leading sound counts as wood. In Saju, Khalil carries wood. That makes it a natural choice for charts where wood is the thinnest of the five elements. Khalil supports fire from behind: its wood sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of wood is better served by another name, since Khalil would add to it.

The astrology view
In astrology a water-sounding name like Khalil is a close match for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and a supportive one for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Khalil as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
