Combustion of Jupiter/Venus, Adhika month and other blocked periods are already removed.

In the naamkaran sanskar the child receives the name that will be their lifelong identity — and, as the namank, their number too — so both the day and the first letter are chosen well.
Tradition prefers the 11th or 12th day after birth; failing that, the 101st day or any auspicious day before the first birthday. Good nakshatras: Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana and Revati.
The first letter comes from the pada of the child's birth nakshatra — Rohini's padas, for example, give O, Va, Vi, Vu. Our nakshatra calculator and rashi-wise baby-names section list exactly these.
Amavasya, rikta tithis, Bhadra and Rahu Kaal; if mother or child is unwell, the shastra allows moving the day — well-being outranks the muhurta.
A muhurat depends on the tithi and nakshatra at local sunrise and on the day's choghadiya, which are divisions of Houston's own day. Houston's sunrise comes hours after India's, so the tithi can change in between — that is why a date here can differ from an Indian panchang by a day.
Houston local time (CDT), with daylight saving applied automatically.
No — these are panchang-clean days for Houston. Fix the final date only after matching the birth charts of the people concerned (Chandra-bala, Tara-bala, running dasha): use the muhurat tool with your birth details or consult an astrologer.
The formal name is best from the nakshatra letter; the pet-name is the family's choice — many keep both.
Use another pada-letter of the same nakshatra or the rashi letter; our baby-names list gives modern names for every pada.
A morning Amrit/Shubh/Labh Choghadiya — pick the day from the list below and match the Choghadiya.
