Naming, answered

How should we start looking for a baby name?

Start wide, then narrow: pick a tradition or style, browse a few collections, and heart everything you half-like. Once you have 10–15 names, use the shortlist compare view — the right one usually announces itself.

What is naming by rashi?

In Vedic tradition, the baby's janma rashi (moon sign at birth) suggests auspicious starting syllables — Mesh favours A, L, E; Kark favours H, D; and so on. To find the janma rashi you need the birth date, time and place: use the Birth Chart or Moon Sign calculator. Then browse the rashi section here.
