Name letter Ro and naamkaran

In the naamkaran custom, a baby born in Swati pada 3 is given a name starting with Ro. 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.

2. Shortlist names beginning with Ro.
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.
