Baby name syllable
The syllable a name is classically begun from, from the baby’s birth star.
By custom, a child’s name begins with the syllable of the Moon’s nakshatra and pada at birth.
You need: The baby’s date, time and place of birth.
What is the name syllable?
Each of the twenty-seven nakshatras has four padas, and each pada a syllable: 108 in all. By custom, a child’s name begins with the syllable of the pada the Moon stood in at birth, the nāma akṣara.
The naming ceremony itself, the nāmakaraṇa, is held on a day chosen for it. Geeta finds the day and the hour as a Muhurta.
Muhurta
What your reading adds
- The day and hour for the naming ceremony itself
- The reason for every date, from the classical texts
Questions
Why are there four syllables?
Each nakshatra has four padas, and each pada its own syllable. The one lit is your baby’s; the other three belong to the same nakshatra.
Can you find the day for the naming ceremony?
Yes. Book a Muhurta for the naming ceremony and Geeta finds the day and the hour, with the reason for each.
Is anything I type sent anywhere?
No. It is all worked out on your device, and nothing you type leaves it.
