Questions about Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra names
What letters are used for Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra baby names?
Uttara Bhadrapada has four naming syllables, one for each pada: Du (दू) for pada 1, Tha (थ) for pada 2, Jha (झ) for pada 3, Nya (ञ) 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 Uttara Bhadrapada 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 Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra belong to?
Uttara Bhadrapada lies in Pisces. The Moon sign letters are Pisces: D, Th, Jh, Ny, Ch, and a family that names by rashi rather than by pada chooses from these.
Can I choose a name from another pada of Uttara Bhadrapada?
Yes. Tha and Nya give almost no Sanskrit names, so a family whose child was born in those padas takes a name from another pada of Uttara Bhadrapada or from the Moon sign letters. All four syllables belong to the same nakshatra, so the name still matches the birth star.
