Which pada of Magha was your baby born in?
The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Leo 0° – 3°20′ at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Magha and the naming syllable is Ma (మా). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
