In Vedic tradition, babies are often named with a sound linked to their Rashi (Moon sign). Each Rashi spans 2¼ nakshatras — nine padas in all — so every Moon sign carries nine traditional name-starting syllables.

Pick your child's Rashi and this generator pools all nine syllables to suggest 25+ modern Hindu names per gender, each with its meaning. It is a great option when you know the Moon sign but want a wider choice than a single nakshatra gives.
