Namkaran Name Report
Names for your baby’s birth star, worked out from the exact birth moment
A personal report for the naming ceremony: your baby’s nakshatra, pada and rashi, the starting syllable that goes with them, and a list of real names that begin with it, in the tradition you choose.
Names come from official birth-registry data in 28 countries (26 with official statistics-agency data).
What you get
- Birth star: nakshatra, pada and rashi for the exact date, time and place.
- Starting syllable: the syllable(s) traditionally prescribed for that pada.
- Name lists: names for a boy and a girl beginning with that syllable, with meanings and origin, filtered to your tradition.
- Wider birth-star list: more names from the same nakshatra if the exact syllable is rare.
- Your shortlist checked: names your family already likes, each marked as matching the syllable or not.
How it is worked out
The Moon’s position is computed with a published astronomical method and tested against NASA JPL data. Names come from our stored name data and are never invented. Where a tradition has few names for a syllable, the report says so plainly instead of padding the list.

Questions
How is the birth star worked out?
We compute the Moon's position for the exact date, time and timezone you give, using a published astronomical method, and read off the nakshatra, pada and rashi. The method is tested against NASA JPL ephemeris data.
What if my baby's birth time is uncertain?
If the Moon sits close to the edge between two nakshatras, the report shows both candidates and says so, instead of quietly picking one. A few minutes of doubt in a birth record can matter in that case.
Are the name suggestions written by a machine?
No. The calculation and name selection use stored data: names are filtered by the prescribed starting syllable, gender and your chosen tradition. Meanings are partly AI-assisted and reviewed.
How soon will I get it, and is it final?
We aim to deliver within 24 hours of confirmation. Namkaran is traditionally held on day 11 or 12, so order early. The report is a private link and is saved exactly as delivered.
