Naming the Baby
Namakarana According to the general rule of the Gruhyasutras the Namakarana ceremony was performed on the tenth or the twelfth day after the birth of the child with the single exception of the secret name which was given, in the opinion of some, on the birth day. But the later options range from the tenth up to the first day of the second year. One authority says, "The naming ceremony should be performed on the tenth, twelfth, hundredth day or at the expiry of the first year." This wide option was due to the convenience of the family and health of the mother and the child. But the option from the tenth up to thirty second day was due to the different periods of ceremonial impurities prescribed for different casts. In the opinion of Brihaspati, "The naming ceremonies should be performed on the tenth, twelfth, thirteenth, sixteenth, nineteenth, or thirty-second day after the birth of the child." But according to astrological works even these dates were to be postponed if there was any natural abnormality or lack of religious propriety. "If there be a Samkranti (the passage of the sun from one zodiac to another), and eclipse or sraddha, the ceremony cannot be auspicious." There were other prohibited days also which should be avoided. At the expiry of impurity caused by birth, the house was washed and purified, and the child and mother bathed. Before the proper ceremony, the preliminary rites were performed. Then the mother, having covered the child with pure cloth and wetted its head with water, handed it over to the father. After this, offerings were made to Prajapati, date, constellation, their deities, Agni and Soma. The father touched the breaths of the child, most probably, to awaken its consciousness and to draw its attention towards the ceremony. Then the name was given. How it was done is not described in the Gruhyasutras, but the Paddhatis contain the following procedure. After preliminaries, the parents give the offerings to gods and feel the breath of the child symbolising the awakening of its consciousness and utters in its ear three times: "Your name is …..". The Brahmins and elders are asked to follow, calling the child by that name and blessing it. The parents, Acharya (teacher) etc. give name to the child. It is written in the Gobhiliya 2/8/8-18 and the Shaunaka Grihya Sutra that a meritoriously attractive and pleasant name should be given to the child. Composition of the Name The first question which has been discussed from the time of the Gruhyasutras onwards is the composition of the name. According to the Paraskara Gruhyasutra, the name should be of two syllables or of four syllables, beginning with a sonant, with a semivowel in it, with the long vowel or the visarga at its end, with a Krt suffix, not with a Taddhita. In the opinion of Baijavapa there is no restriction of syllables. "The father should give a name to the child containing one syllable, two syllables, three syllables, or an indefinite number of syllables." But Vasistha restricts the number to two or four syllables and asks to avoid names ending in l and r. the Asvalayana Gruhyasutra attaches different kinds of merits to different number of syllables; "One who is desirous of fame, his name should consists of two syllables, one who desires holy lustre, his name should contain four syllables." For boys even number of syllables were prescribed.
Naming a Girl The naming of a girl had a different basis. The name of a girl should contain an uneven number of syllables, it should end in a and should have a Taddhita. Baijavapa says, "The name of a girl should contain three syllables and end in i." Manu gives further qualifications of the name of a girl: "It should be easy to pronounce, not hard to hear, of clear meaning, charming, auspicious, ending in a long vowel and containing some blessing." She should not be given an awkward name indicating "a constellation, a tree, a river, a mountain, a bird, a servant, and a terror." Manu forbids to marry girls who were named after these objects. The most probable reason seems to be that such names were current in the non Aryan peoples with whom the Aryans were not willing to form matrimonial relations. Fourfold Naming There was current fourfold naming, according to asterism under which the child was born, the deity of the month, the family deity, and the popular calling. Nakshtra Name To begin with the Nakshtra name, it was a name derived from the name of a Nakshtra (a lunar asterism) under which the child was born, or from its presiding deity. Sankha and Likhita prescribed that, "the father or an elderly member of the family should give the child a name connected with the constellation under which the child is born." The following are the names of the constellations and their deities: Asvini - Asvi, Bharani - Yama, Kritika - Agni, Rohini Prajapati, Mrgasira - Soma, Ardra - Rudra, Punarvasu - Aditi, Pusya - Brihaspati, Aslesa Sarpa, Magha - Pitrni, Purvaphalguni - Bhaga, Uttaraphalguni - Aryaman, Hasta - Savitri, Chitra - Tvastra, Svati - Vayu, visakha - Indragni, Anuradha - Mitra, Jyestha - Indra, Mula Nirti, Purvasha - Ap, Uttarasadha - Visvedeva, Sravana - Visnu, Dhanistha - Vasu, Saatabhik Varuna, Puryabhadrapada - Ajaikapada, Uttarabhadrapada - Ahirbudhnya and Revati - Pusan. If a child was born under the constellation Asvini, he was named Asvinikumara, if under Rhini, Rohinikumara etc. Another method of naming the child after the constellation was also current. The letters of the Sanskrit alphabets are believed to be presided over by different constellations. But as there are fifty two letters and only twenty seven constellations, each constellation has more than one letter under its influence. The first letter of the child´s name should begin with one of the letters ruled over by a particular asterism. A child who was born under Asvini, which presides over the letters Chu - Che - Cho - la was named Chudamani, Chedisa, Cholesa or Lakshmana according to the different steps of the constellations. According to Baudhayana, the name derived from the constellation was kept secret. It was the second name for greeting the elders and was known to the parents only up to the time of the Upanayana. In the opinion of some authorities the secret name was given on the birth day. About the greeting name Asvalayana also says that it should be selected on the naming day and should be known to the parents only. Saunaka is of the same opinion, "The name by which he should greet the elders after being initiated, should be given to him. Having thought over it, the father should pronounce it closely to the child so that others may not know it. The parents should recollect this name at the time of initiation." The name derived form the Nakshatra was vitally connected with the life of the individual. So it was kept secret less enemies may do mischief to the man through it. Name according to aksara corresponding to nakshatra: Each naksatra is divided into four equal parts. Each part is assigned a syllable. After determining which nakshatra and which quarter of the nakshatra that the child was born in, a name shoul be chosen which begins with syllable corresponding to the particular quarter of the nakshatra. Any syllable with an "o" sound may substitute an "au" sound. An syllable with an "e" sound may substitute an "ai" sound. "S" may be substituted for "s".
Nakshatra at birth: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters or padas of it: asvina cu, ce, co, la bharani li, lu, le, lo krtikka a, i, u, e rohini o, ba, bi, bu mrga sirsa be, bo, ka, ki ardra ku, gha, na, cha punarvasu ke, ko, ha, hi pusya hu, he, ho, da aslesa di, du, de, do magha ma, mi, mu, me purva phalguni mo, ta, ti, tu uttara phalguni te, to, pa, pi hasta pu, sa, na, tha citra pe, po, ra, ri svati ru, re, ro, ta visakha ti, tu, te, to anuradha na, ni, nu, ne jyestha no, ya, yi, yu mula ye, yo, bha, bhi purvasadha bhu, dha, pha, dha uttarasadha bhe, bho, ja, ji abhijit ju, je, jo, kha sravana khi, khu, khe, kho dhanistha ga, gi, gu, ge satabhisa go, sa, si, su, sa, si, su purva bhadra se, so, se, so, da, di uttara bhadrapada du, tha, jha, na (and tra) revati de, do, ca, ci According to zodiac sign: Begining with the letters as follows: 21 March/ 20 April mesa / Aries : a, la 21 April/ 20 May vrsaba / Taurus; u, va, i, e, o 21 May/ 20 June mithuna /Gemini; ka, cha, bha, na 21 June/ 20 July karkara / Cancer; bha, ha 21 July/20 Aug simha / Leo: ta, ? 21 Aug/ 20Sept kanya / Virgo; pa, tha, ya, na 21 Sept/ 20 Oct tula / Libra: ra, tav 21 Oct/ 20 Nov vrsicha / Scorpio; na, ya 21 Nov/ 20 Dec dhanus / Sagitarius: bha, bha, pha, dha 21 Dec/ 20 Jan makara /Capricorn; tha, ja 21 Jan/ 20 Feb kumbha /Aquarius: ga, sa 21 Feb/ 20 March mina / Pisces: da, ca na, jha Name after Month deity The second mode of naming was based on the deity of the month in which the child was born. According to Gargya, the names of the deities of months beginning from Margasirsa are Karnna, Ananta, Achyuta, Chakri, Vaikuntha, Janardana, Upendra, Yjnapurusa, Vasudeva, hari, Yogisa, and Pundarikaksa. The child was given a second name connected with the deity of the month. The above names are all of Vaisnava sect and they originated much later than the sutra period. Name after Family deity
The third name was given according to the family deity. A family deity was a god or goddess worshipped in a family or tribe from every early times. The people naming a child after it thought that the child would enjoy special protection of the deity. The deity may be Vedic e.g. Indra, Soma, varuna, Mitra, Prajapati, or Puranic e.g. Krishna, rama, Sankara, Ganesa etc. While naming the child, the word Dasa or Bhakta (a devotee) was added to the name of the deity. Popular Name The last mode of naming was popular.The formation of this name mainly depended on the culture and education of the family. Forbidden or prohibited names The following female names should be avoided. Names after a constellation such as Rohini, Revati etc. should be avoided. Names of trees and plants such as Champa, Tulasi etc., Names of rivers such as Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati etc. Names formed on the basis of lowering merit like Chandali Names of mountains like Vindhyachal, Himalaya,etc.,Names of birds like Kokila, Hansa etc., Names of snakes such as Sarpini, Nagin, etc Names suggestive of menial servants or other orderlies like Dasi, kinkakari etc., Names that create an awe or fear like Bheema, Bhayankari, Chandika etc.,. The above types of names are prohibited names for female children. The scriptural authority for the above prohibitions is taken from Manu Smriti 3/9. Which reads as follows: "Let him not marry a maiden named after a constellation, a tree, or a river, nor one bearing the name of a low caste, or of a mountain, nor one named after a bird, a snake, or a slave, nor one whose name inspires terror." If the child is female, the name should be of one or three or five letters like Shree, Hrihi, Yashoda, Sukhada, Saubhagyaprada etc. According to Asvalayana, the names of boys should have an even number of syllables. A two-syllable name will bring material prosperity and fame and a four syllable name will bring religious fame.

Use in astrology[edit source | editbeta] Hindu given names [edit source | editbeta] Hindu astrologers (see Jyotisha) teach that when a child is born, they should be given an auspicious first name which will correspond to the child's Nakshatra. The technique for deducing the name is to see which nakshatra the moon is in at the moment of birth; this gives four possible sounds. A refinement is to pick one sound out of that four that relates to the Pada or division of the Nakshatra. Each Nakshatra has four Padas and four sounds and each Pada is of equal width. The Moon remains in each Nakshatra for approximately one day. A further refinement or opportunity is to instead use the Nakshatra that the ascendent resides in at birth. The s ame broad choice of sounds and Padas apply, but now the sounds change roughly every 15 minutes. The ascendent passes through all 27 Nakshatras every 24 hours, being in each one for 53 and a third minutes of time, and is in a Pada for 13 and a third minutes of time. By using the ascendent's nakshatra, instead of the moon's nakshatra leads more to comfort of the Self, rather than comfort of the mother. This second approach is only really applicable if intuitively the moon approach does not feel right.
Electional astrology[edit source | editbeta] Constellations are grouped on the basis of their nature, type of their face, degree of their beneficence, their quarters in different signs, with reference to the constellation occupied by the Sun, with reference to the birth constellation (Janma Nakshatra), their caste, etc. The current constellation occupied by the Moon, and its nature forms the fundamental of Vedic system of electional astrology (Muhurta). Some of the activities and works which are associated with the Nakshatras are given below based on their fundamental nature:
Fixed (Dhruva, Sthira ) constellations:
Rohini, Uttara Bhādrapadā, Uttra Falguni, and Uttara Ashada Fixed and permanent nature, house, village, temple, entering in new hose-city-temple, religious works, rites for getting peace, propitiation of portents, Vinayaka Shanti , coronation, sowing of seeds, planting of small garden, starting of vocal music, friendship, sexual works, making & wearing of ornaments & clothes may be auspiciously begun / effectively performed. Works allocated to delicate & friendly (Mridu) asterisms may also be performed.
Movable (Chala , Chara ) constellations:
Punarvasu, Swaati, Sharavana, Shatabhishā & Shravishthā Related to motion & movement, riding on a vehicle or elephant, opening of shop, walking first time, walking in garden, sex, making jewellery, learning of a trait. Things performed in Small (Laghu) constellation are also effectively performed in the Movable constellations.
Cruel (Ugra, Karur ) constellations:
Magha, Bharani, Porva Palguni, Poorva Shada, & Poorva Bhadra. Ambush, burning, poisoning (self & others), making & using weapons especially related to fire, cheating / deception / wickedness / craftiness, cutting & destroying, controlling of animals, beating & punishing of enemy. Works allocated to Sharp / Horrible (Darun) asterisms are also successfully done in these asterisms.
Mixed (Mishra & Sadharan ) constellations
Vishakha & Krittika. Fire works, burning of sacred fire ( Agnihotra), using poison, fearsome works, arresting, adulteration (mixing),
donation of ox to get one’s desires fulfilled ( Vrashotsarga). Works prescribed under cruel (Ugra, Karur )
constellations may also be performed. As per N.S. works of Sweet / delicate & friendly (Mridu & Maitri ) constellations can also be included. Small (L a g h u & K s h i p r a) constellations
Hasta, Abhijit, Pushya, and Ashvini. Selling, medical knowledge, using & handling of medicines, literature-music-art, the 64 Kala Shilpa (various arts, sculpture etc.) jewellery making & wearing, sexual intercourse. And the works prescribed for Movable (Char ) constellations. Though Abhijit is included in Small group of asterisms, but is rarely referred in the Muhurt prescriptions.
