Every Nakshatra in Vedic astrology has an alphabet and a sound associated with it. This is useful in selecting names for the child during their namkaran ceremony where astrologer selects the name alphabets based on the moon’s nakshatra. This helps the child to synchronize with his chart energies. Moon nakshatra is extremely important because the effect of the moon’s nakshatra stays forever.
