How Sanskrit names are chosen

In Hindu practice the name arrives through a ritual, Namkaran, one of the sixteen samskaras that mark the stages of a life. The starting sound is not free: an astrologer identifies the nakshatra the Moon occupied at the moment of birth, divides it into its four padas, and reads off the syllables considered auspicious for the quarter the child was born in — the family then chooses a name beginning with one of them. Other recognised routes exist alongside it, including a devata-nama honouring the family deity or the god of the birth month. The reasoning behind the ritual is that a name aligned to the birth star will sit correctly with the child for life.

Sanskrit spellings often flatten in English: long and short vowels and retroflex consonants that are distinct in Devanagari collapse into the same Latin letters.
