How to use these letters

Take the Moon’s nakshatra and pada from the birth chart (or the nakshatra calculator by date of birth), then choose a name that begins with that pada’s letter. If the pada is unknown, the four letters above are the ones for this nakshatra. Without birth details, the rashi name finder shows the letters for any nakshatra and pada, and rashi by name shows where a name you already like falls.
