The lord of Libra (рддреБрд▓рд╛) is Venus 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 Libra occupies fall these 9 nakshatra padas тАФ the pada of birth gives the finest first letter for the name:
| Nakshatra | Pada | Name letter |
|---|---|---|
| Chitra | 3 | рд░рд╛ |
| Chitra | 4 | рд░реА |
| Swati | 1 | рд░реВ |
| Swati | 2 | рд░реЗ |
| Swati | 3 | рд░реЛ |
| Swati | 4 | рддрд╛ |
| Vishakha | 1 | рддреА |
| Vishakha | 2 | рддреВ |
| Vishakha | 3 | рддреЗ |
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 Libra, the sign lord is Venus тАФ the folk tradition of naming in Venus'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.
