A boy born in Krittika is often named from the same four padas as any child of this star: अ A, इ I, उ U, and ए E. Agni is the deity, the planet is the Sun, and the symbol people still mention is a razor. Abhay means free of fear, a plain wish for a son who will not shrink. Advait means no second, only the one, which suits a family that wants a name with weight. Aman means calm peace. When the birth time is fuzzy, or the Moon was only just inside Krittika, look at the star on either side before the name goes on the form.

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