Purva Phalguni Nakshatra Baby Names for Boys and Girls
A child born with the Moon in Purva Phalguni nakshatra takes a name that begins with Mo, Ta, Ti or Tu, one syllable for each pada. This page lists 21 names with their meanings: 12 for boys, 8 for girls and 1 that serve either.
Purva Phalguni children love rest, music and company. Names of fortune, of the arts and of Lakshmi fit the nakshatra. Ta, Ti and Tu with the retroflex ट give few Sanskrit names, so the Leo letters Mo and the Ma group are used as well.

Purva Phalguni has four naming syllables, one for each pada: Mo (मो) for pada 1, Ta (टा) for pada 2, Ti (टी) for pada 3, Tu (टू) for pada 4. The pada the Moon occupied at birth gives the syllable the name begins with.
How do I find the pada of my baby's Purva Phalguni nakshatra?
The Moon crosses one pada in about six hours, so the birth time decides it. Enter the birth date, time and place in the Baby Name Calculator on this site and it names the nakshatra, the pada and the syllable.
Which Moon sign does Purva Phalguni nakshatra belong to?
Purva Phalguni lies in Leo. The Moon sign letters are Leo: M, T, and a family that names by rashi rather than by pada chooses from these.
Can I choose a name from another pada of Purva Phalguni?
Yes. Tu gives almost no Sanskrit names, so a family whose child was born in that pada takes a name from another pada of Purva Phalguni or from the Moon sign letters. All four syllables belong to the same nakshatra, so the name still matches the birth star.
