The naming syllables of Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra are Du, Tha, Jha, Nya (దూ, థ, ఝ, ఞ). This page lists 6 Telugu names for them, pada by pada, with meanings.
Telugu calls this nakshatra Uttarabhadra. Its deity is Ahirbudhnya, the serpent of the deep. Its last syllable is ña (ఞ); names that carry it begin with jña (జ్ఞా), as in Jnana.
Pada 1 · Du (దూ)
Pisces 3°20′ – 6°40′ · Navamsa: Leo (Sun)
Boy names
- Durgesh (దుర్గేష్) — Lord of forts
Girl names
- Durgabhavani (దుర్గాభవాని) — Goddess Durga Bhavani
Pada 2 · Tha (థ)
Pisces 6°40′ – 10° · Navamsa: Virgo (Mercury)
Hardly any Telugu names begin with Tha (థ). A baby born in this pada keeps Tha (థ) for the nakshatra name said in pujas and sankalpas, and the family chooses the everyday name by its own custom.
Pada 3 · Jha (ఝ)
Pisces 10° – 13°20′ · Navamsa: Libra (Venus)

Pada 4 · Nya (ఞ)

- Jnanadev (జ్ఞానదేవ్) — God of knowledge

Which pada of Uttara Bhadrapada was your baby born in?
The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Pisces 3°20′ – 6°40′ at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Uttara Bhadrapada and the naming syllable is Du (దూ). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
