The nine quarters
Find the pada first, then use its sound.
The sign gives nine possible sounds. Birth time identifies the one pada; the baby name finder calculates it from the Moon's position.
| Nakshatra | Pada | Naming sound |
|---|---|---|
| Purva Bhadrapada | 4 | Dee |
| Uttara Bhadrapada | 1 | Du |
| Uttara Bhadrapada | 2 | Tha |
| Uttara Bhadrapada | 3 | Jha |
| Uttara Bhadrapada | 4 | Da / Tra — two attested readings, either is correct |
| Revati | 1 | De |
| Revati | 2 | Do |
| Revati | 3 | Cha |
| Revati | 4 | Chee |
A slash marks two attested readings for one pada. Both are retained instead of silently choosing one regional spelling.
Boundary note. Purva Bhadrapada padas 1-3 belong to Kumbh, not Meen. 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.

How the birth star becomes one naming sound.
The calculation and its limits are documented once in the baby name finder method. Use the rashi calculator if the sign itself is uncertain.
Meen Rashi name questions
Which letters are used for Meen Rashi names?
Dee, Du, Tha, Jha, Da / Tra, De, Do, Cha, Chee. Those are the sounds assigned to the nine padas that fall in Meen — Purva Bhadrapada pada 4, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati — 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 153 sourced names shown for Meen?
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.
