The Moon moves through a pada in about six hours, so you need the birth date, time and place. Our free name-letter finder works it out and shows the letter.
Is it necessary to name a baby by nakshatra?
It is a tradition, not a rule. Many families use the nakshatra letter for the formal name used in ceremonies and keep another name for every day.
Names are listed by their English spelling. In Hindi some syllables that look alike in English are different letters (ट and त, ड and द), and Tamil, Telugu and other regional lists differ a little, so many families confirm the letter with their priest.
