The lord of Capricorn (рдордХрд░) is Saturn тАФ below are the auspicious name-letters by nakshatra pada, with which a name is traditionally begun.
In the 30┬░ arc of the sky that Capricorn occupies fall these 9 nakshatra padas тАФ the pada of birth gives the finest first letter for the name:
| Nakshatra | Pada | Name letter |
|---|---|---|
| Uttara Ashadha | 2 | рднреЛ |
| Uttara Ashadha | 3 | рдЬрд╛ |
| Uttara Ashadha | 4 | рдЬреА |
| Shravana | 1 | рдЦреА |
| Shravana | 2 | рдЦреВ |
| Shravana | 3 | рдЦреЗ |
| Shravana | 4 | рдЦреЛ |
| Dhanishtha | 1 | рдЧрд╛ |
| Dhanishtha | 2 | рдЧреА |
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 Capricorn, the sign lord is Saturn тАФ the folk tradition of naming in Saturn'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.
