Which pada of Krittika was your baby born in?
The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Aries 26°40′ – 30° at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Krittika and the naming syllable is A (ఆ). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
