In the Vedic tradition the formal name is set from the pada of the birth nakshatra (the rashi-name), while an everyday name may differ тАФ many families keep both. The naamkaran sanskar is usually held on the 11th or 12th day after birth in an auspicious muhurta; checking the Moon's strength and a good Choghadiya that day is ideal. With the child's rashi being Sagittarius, the sign lord is Jupiter тАФ the folk tradition of naming in Jupiter's sound-energy stems from this too.
If no name you love starts with the listed letter, a sound of the same letter-family (Ko/Kau, Ha/Ho) or the name of the family deity is a shastra-approved alternative тАФ what matters is the opening sound. To know the exact birth nakshatra use the nakshatra calculator or the free kundali; if the child's rashi itself is unknown, find it with the moon-sign calculator.
