Frequently asked questions

What is a Nakshatra name?

It is a name that begins with the syllable linked to the baby's birth Nakshatra pada. There are 27 Nakshatras with 4 padas each, and each pada has its own syllable.

Why is the birth time needed?

The Moon changes pada roughly every six hours, so the time decides which starting letters are lucky for your baby.

Do the names come with meanings?

Yes. Each suggested name comes with its meaning and spiritual significance.

Can I combine the parents' names instead?

Yes. Use our Parent Blend tool, which builds names from syllables of the father's and mother's names.

Can I use it for a baby who is not born yet?

The Nakshatra comes from the exact birth moment, so it is best used after birth. Before that, Parent Blend is a good way to collect ideas.
