Boundary note. Punarvasu padas 1-3 belong to Mithun, not Kark. That is why this table uses padas rather than filing a whole nakshatra under one sign.

Some sounds belong to more than one pada. Those rows name the other sign instead of pretending the spelling resolves the birth pada; birth time is what distinguishes it.
- Karka Rashi name letters means this same कर्क table: Hi, Hu, He, Ho, Da, Dee, Doo, De, Do.
The calculation and its limits are documented once in the baby name finder method. Use the rashi calculator if the sign itself is uncertain.
Kark Rashi name questions
Which letters are used for Kark Rashi names?
Hi, Hu, He, Ho, Da, Dee, Doo, De, Do. Those are the sounds assigned to the nine padas that fall in Kark — Punarvasu pada 4, Pushya, Ashlesha — in the Namakaran tradition. The tradition names on the sound of the single pada the Moon occupied at birth, so only one of these is 'yours'; the remaining quarters belong to the same sign but to a different part of it, and the birth time is what tells them apart.
Does the name have to start with one of these sounds?
No. This is a tradition, not a rule, and no text treats a name chosen for another reason as harmful. Families regularly name a child after a grandparent or a deity instead. The only consequence is that the name will not encode the birth star, so nobody will be able to read the chart back out of it later.
Why are only 116 sourced names shown for Kark?
Every published meaning needs a citation and attestation as a given name. An uncited suggestion is omitted rather than given a plausible but invented gloss; the finder page explains the corpus and licence.
