How to use these letters
Take the Moon’s rashi from the birth chart (or rashi by date of birthworks it out from the date and time), then choose a name that begins with one of the nine letters. If you also know the nakshatra pada, the single matching letter in the table is the narrower choice. Without birth details, the rashi name finder shows the letters for any rashi, nakshatra or pada, and rashi by name shows where a name you already like falls.
