What are the Chitra nakshatra sounds?

पे Pe, पो Po, र Ra, and रि Ri. There are four padas, and the birth chart tells you which starting sound to use.

Do Chitra names have to start with Ra?

No. Ra and Ri are only the third and fourth padas. The first two are पे Pe and पो Po, so the name need not begin with R unless that is your pada.

What should I do if the Chitra birth time might be a few minutes off?

Those minutes matter most when the Moon is near the edge. Calculate again, and look at the neighbouring nakshatra before you lock the name.
