About Our Baby Name Finder
A name made for your baby’s chart
We suggest names for your baby boy or girl based on your family’s origin and your baby’s birth chart. We calculate the Moon sign (Rashi), birth star (nakshatra), the position of Jupiter and the lucky life number, then filter our database by gender, number, origin, Rashi, nakshatra and Jupiter (Guru).
It was the first service on the internet to offer customised baby name suggestions like this – and it is still completely free.
Numerology by the Cheiro system
Our name numerology follows Cheiro, the most famous numerologist and the creator of one of the most effective name numerology systems.
Instead of reducing every name to a single digit from 1 to 9, Cheiro gives a meaning to every name number from 1 to 100, so each combination of first name and surname can be read in far more detail.
How We Suggest a Name
1Birth chartFrom the date, time and place of birth we calculate the baby’s Moon sign (Rashi), birth star (nakshatra) and the position of Jupiter.
2Lucky sounds & numberThe nakshatra pada gives the auspicious starting syllables, and the date of birth gives the lucky life number.
3Your shortlistWe filter 60,000+ names by gender, origin, Rashi, nakshatra and number, so every suggestion fits your baby’s chart.
The Three Rules of a Lucky Name
1. The first letter
The first syllable of a name carries the strongest vibration. Indian astrologers choose it from the baby’s nakshatra – and many artists and film stars rose to fame only after adjusting the first letter of their name.
2. The expression number
The first name is reduced to a number from 1 to 9 that should agree with the date of birth. It also describes character – for example, expression number 9 gives a realistic, steady and natural leader.
3. The name number
Adding the first name and surname gives a number between 2 and 100. Following Cheiro’s system, each of these numbers has its own meaning, so the name can be matched to what matters most to the family – career, health, harmony or wealth.
When all three agree with the birth chart, the name supports the child throughout life. For a name that isn’t in our list, use Check a Name to apply the same rules.

How do I choose a baby name according to astrology?
Find your baby’s nakshatra and its pada from the birth details. Each pada has a sacred starting syllable, and a name beginning with that sound is considered auspicious. Our “By Birth Details” tool does this calculation for you.
What is the difference between Rashi and nakshatra names?
A Rashi (Moon sign) covers two and a quarter nakshatras, so it allows a wider set of starting letters. The nakshatra pada narrows it to a single syllable and is the more precise traditional method.
Does numerology matter when choosing a name?
Yes. In Indian naming tradition the name number should agree with the baby’s date of birth. Use “Check a Name” to see whether a name you like is numerologically lucky.
Are the baby names free to use?
Yes – every search, name meaning and name suggestion on MoonAstro is completely free.
