How Luna sounds
Luna has two syllables, the most common rhythm for English first names. Luna closes on an open sound, which gives it a light and welcoming ending. Luna is built from soft, running sounds, which this scheme counts as water. More families have been choosing Luna in recent years, which gives it a modern, up-and-coming feel. In U.S. birth records Luna has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
Luna starts on T, D, N, L or R, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the fire group and that this scheme carries over to English. In Saju, Luna carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Luna earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Luna ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
To the ear Luna sounds water, the element of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn find it a friendly partner. For fire and air signs, the water sound of Luna pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
