Baby Names: Indian Baby Names, Hindu Names

Following the principles of Swar Siddhanta and naming your child is very common nowadays. It proves to be good for the development and growth of a child. Commonly, the name of a child is kept on the basis of position of Natal Moon in the Birth Chart. In India, people do believe that the name they choose for their kids basically represent their personality, nature and characteristics.

In Vedic Astrology, Swar Siddhanta has been given much importance. It is believed that deities get pleased with the power of Swar. Sound is one of the most important factors in Vedas, in fact all the Mantras are based on Swar Siddhanta. Vedic Astrology has been divided into 27 Nakshatras and each constellation is divided further into four padas. If you know only birth nakshatra of a child, it wouldn't be able to inform you about the suitable name of your child. For the best suited name, you need to know about the Nakshatra as well as pada to name your child out of 108 groups of Swar.

In India, parents consult astrologers to help them in order to choose the right name for their child. Knowing the Nakshatra, sun sign or rashi is considered good and brings fortune in the child's life.
