The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Vivian belongs to water, since it is made with the lips. Names that sound like Vivian are filed under water. When a birth chart runs low on water, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, water gives rise to wood, so Vivian earns some credit for charts missing wood.
