Which sounds belong to Krittika nakshatra?

The four padas are अ A, इ I, उ U, and ए E. Your priest uses the Moon at birth to say which one pada applies, and the name is then chosen to begin with that sound.

Does a Krittika name have to start with the pada syllable?

Most homes try for that starting sound, but it is a custom, not a rule of the state. If a grandmother has already picked a name because of what it means, many families keep it.

What if two pandits give different nakshatras for the same birth?

Ask both which clock time they used, and whether the Moon was near a border. A short gap can move the result, so look at the neighbouring star as well before you decide.

Krittika sits with Agni, the fire deity, under the Sun, and its old symbol is a razor. Families who follow the pada often look for a name that opens on one of four sounds. The sounds are अ A, इ I, उ U, and ए E. Aarush means the first ray of the sun, which many parents like for a morning birth. Aarohi means ascending, a quiet way to say the child will keep rising. Aanya means gracious, without limit. If the hospital clock was a little off, or the Moon sat near the edge of Krittika, read the neighbouring star too before you settle the name.

Aabhas means Feeling; reflection. Aadesh means Command; message. Aadhar means Foundation; support. Aadhavan means The sun.
