The tradition of the name syllable

Each of the 27 nakshatras is divided into four padas (quarters), and each pada has a sacred sound, its namakshar. Naming a child with that first syllable is a blessing that connects the name to the star the Moon stood in at birth. The name is traditionally given at the Namakarana ceremony, often on the 11th or 12th day.

Syllables follow the widely used Avakahada chakra; some regional traditions differ slightly. Please check the spelling and meaning with your family before you decide.
