Giving a Name to the Child in line with Astrology

Naming a human being is the most important event in that person's life as it is this name
that will help mould his/her future. It is also the only thing that remains once a person is
dead.
A name is the best gift parents could give their children.
If parents believe in naming the child as they wish, they should not give names that have
bad meanings. For example, Viranga (which means the male sex organs) or Ayoni (which
means women without a reproductive system).

When Giving a name to a new born child you need to find the auspicious sounding
starting letters for the name. It is believed when such an auspicious sounding name is
constantly repeated over the years to come, it will act as a "Manthra" which will bring
good luck for the child.

There are three ways of finding letters. The crudest way is according to the Day, It is
like giving the name "Chandra" to all the babies born on Mondays.

For the second and third methods you need to cast the horoscope of the child and find
out the "Lagna" (Rising Sign) and the "Janma Nakshtra" (Position of the Moon) of the
child from the horoscope.

The letters compatible with the "Lagna" are considered the best. Then the second best
are the letters the letters according to "Janma Nakshtra". The third preference is the letters
according to the Day.

Step by step guide

How to find letters for the naming of a new

born baby.

Over the past period many people from various countries had contacted me asking help
on finding letters suitable for new born babies. Some countries impose strict time frames
over the registration of births. Because of that, the letters had to be found as soon as
possible. (It is amazing to know how keen some people are in finding suitable letters for
names even for their pet animals. Once, I was contacted by the staff members of an

American zoo, asking for auspicious letters, suitable for the naming of a new born baby
elephant according to it's time of birth. Which, I first thought is a joke. But found out that
they were very serious about it. !)

Therefore, I thought that it is a good idea to provide in this page, using the already
available resources in this site, a step by step guide how to find suitable letters for naming
a new born child, in line with the genuine Vedic astrological principles, with out having
to consult myself or any other astrologer.

Press the calculate button. The page will then calculate the Lagna and a one page reading
will appear on the screen. On the very top of the reading, Lagna or the Birth Sign will be
given. (See the Picture below).

calculated the Lagna of the Baby. Use the following table to find the suitable letters
