The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Oscar belongs to earth, since it is made with an open throat and a soft breath. Names that sound like Oscar are filed under earth. When a birth chart runs low on earth, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. Oscar supports metal from behind: its earth sound is the traditional source of that element. If earth is already strong in a chart, Oscar ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
