Name letter Hu and naamkaran

In the naamkaran custom, a baby born in Pushya pada 1 is given a name starting with Hu. The letter comes from the pada, not the nakshatra as a whole, which is why two babies born in the same nakshatra can receive different letters.

1. Confirm the birth nakshatra and pada with the free calculator.
2. Shortlist names beginning with Hu.
3. Say the names aloud with the family name.
4. Optionally check the name number (naam ka ank) in numerology (ank jyotish) as a light second step.
