The lord of Pisces (рдореАрди) is Jupiter 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 Pisces occupies fall these 9 nakshatra padas тАФ the pada of birth gives the finest first letter for the name:
| Nakshatra | Pada | Name letter |
|---|---|---|
| Purva Bhadrapada | 4 | рджреА |
| Uttara Bhadrapada | 1 | рджреВ |
| Uttara Bhadrapada | 2 | рде |
| Uttara Bhadrapada | 3 | рдЭ |
| Uttara Bhadrapada | 4 | рдЮ |
| Revati | 1 | рджреЗ |
| Revati | 2 | рджреЛ |
| Revati | 3 | рдЪрд╛ |
| Revati | 4 | рдЪреА |
тЪая╕П This rashi contains the Gandmool nakshatra Revati тАФ for a birth in these, tradition observes a Gandmool-shanti around the 27th day before the naming. Understand Gandmool тЖТ
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 Pisces, 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.

These names are chosen from this rashi's classical name-letters тАФ the list is a guide; make the final choice from the birth-nakshatra's pada letter (table above).
All names on these letters (with meanings):
The naming rite is classically done on the 11th or 12th day after birth (some families on the 101st day or within the first year), on a day free of Amavasya, Rikta tithis (4, 9, 14), Bhadra and eclipses; Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are preferred. The child is placed in the lap facing east, the family deity is invoked and the father (or an elder) speaks the chosen name into the right ear. If the birth nakshatra is Gandmool (Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshtha, Mula, Revati), the Gandmool shanti on the 27th day is traditionally done before the naming. Upcoming Naamkaran muhurats тЖТ
