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 settle on a "U" 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 — filtered by gender, religion and language.

Tip: if your baby's nakshatra points to "U" — wonderful, 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.
