What are the starting sounds for Mrigashira?

They are वे Ve, वो Vo, क Ka, and कि Ki. Each one belongs to a single pada, so ask which pada the Moon was in before you fall for a name.

Does a Mrigashira name have to begin with Ka or Ki?

Not always. The first two padas use वे Ve and वो Vo, and the later two use क Ka and कि Ki. Follow the sound of the actual pada, unless your family cares more about the meaning.

What if a phone app and the pandit disagree on Mrigashira?

Compare the birth time each one used, and the city of birth if that was entered. When the Moon sits close to the edge, the result can flip to the next star, so see both before you lock a name.

Mrigashira is tied to Soma, its planet is Mars, and the symbol is a deer head, which older relatives still talk about when the baby seems restless. The four padas give these starting sounds: वे Ve, वो Vo, क Ka, and कि Ki. Kalyani means she who brings good, a warm name to call a girl across a courtyard. Kanika means a grain of gold. Kavya means a poem, short enough for daily use and still full when you explain it to grandparents. If the clock time feels shaky, or the Moon was close to leaving this star, check the one next door before you lock a name.

Basil means Royal; kingly. Bela means Jasmine. Benazir means Incomparable. Benedict means Blessed.
