The Saju view

Counted by its first sound, Nico is a fire name, since that sound is made with the tip of the tongue. The sound of Nico belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Nico, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. If fire is already strong in a chart, Nico ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
