How Madelyn sounds
The three beats of Madelyn give it a lyrical quality. Madelyn closes on a humming sound, which gives it a calm and friendly ending. Madelyn is built from soft, running sounds, which this scheme counts as water.

The Saju view
The opening of Madelyn is a lip sound, the signature of water in the pronunciation-element system. Names that sound like Madelyn 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 Madelyn earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Madelyn ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
