“According to traditional jyotishis (Indian astrologers), among the most auspicious Hindu first names begin the syllables that corresponds to one's birth star, called nakshatra, which is the constellation with which the moon was aligned at the moment of birth. Below is a list of the twenty-seven nakshatras and the distinct Sanskrit syllables that correspond to each. To choose a nakshatra name (namanakshatra), first determine the birth star of the child or adult, then look for the star in the list below to determine the syllable(s) with which the name should begin. There are four sounds for each nakshatra, corresponding to the four quarters (padas) of each constellation. If you know the pada under which the child or adult was born, it is best to choose the syllable of that pada. Several of the nama-nakshatra syllables are quite rare in actual usage in the Sanskrit language. For example, someone born under the fourth pada of Purvashadha nakshatra may not find more than two or three qualifying names beginning with the syllable dhaa (long "a") even in extensive name lists, so it is common practice to choose a name starting with a similar syllable. In this case the syllable dha (short "a") might be used, such as in the name Dharana, or dha as in Dharma. It is also common to resort to the syllable of another pada within the same nakshatra if too few names are available.Why chose a name based on nakshatra? The first reason is that it vibrates in harmony with the nature of the individual in this particular incarnation, by virtue of its unique relation to the moon at the moment of birth, which has a significant impact on the inner, emotional nature. Secondly, by simply hearing the name, an astute jyotisha shastri, priest, swami or satguru would immediately know the nature of the person, cognizing that he was born under, say, the shravana nakshatra. He would thus be able to wisely counsel or console, advise and encourage accordingly. In ancient days, as today, this first sound of the first name was extremely important to knowledgeable preceptors. Note, in this HTML presentation of the book, the diacritical marks as well as the devanagiri sanskrit image for the syllables have been removed. You should consult the printed edition of "How to Become a Hindu." or consult with a qualified Sanskrit, jyotisha shastri or Pandit before making a final decision.” Ashvini Nakshatra Chu (as in Fu-Manchu) Che (as in chase) Cho (as in choke) La (as in lava) Bharani Nakshatra Li (as in lilt) Lu (as in lute) Le as in leg) Lo (as in local) Krittika Nakshatra A (as in ananda) I (as in iridescent) U (as in uvula) E (as in egg) Rohini Nakshatra O (as in odor) Va (as in vanilla) Vi (as in Vina) Vo (as in vote) Mrigashira Nakshatra Ve (as in Veda) Vo (as in votary) Ka (as in Kanji) Ke (as in Kenya) Ardra Nakshatra Ku (as in Kuwait) Gha (as in Ghana) Ng (pronounced "ng") Chha (as in Churchill) Punarvasu Nakshatra Ke (as in Kenya) Ko (as in kodiac) Ha (as in hardy) Hi (as in hither)
