How to pick the right letter for your baby

In Vedic tradition, the ideal first syllable of a child's name — the Janm Akshar — is decided by the Nakshatra (birth star) the Moon occupied at birth. So before you fall in love with an "R" name, it's worth checking which syllable the stars actually suggest for your baby.

• Find your baby's birth syllable from date, time & place with Rashi & Janm Akshar by Date of Birth.
• Then generate meaningful, ready-to-use names with our AstroNames Name Calculator.

Tip: if your baby's nakshatra points to "R" — perfect, the names in this video are ready for you. If it points elsewhere, our tools will give you names for that exact syllable in seconds.
