Sahil and Shiv both look like S names in English, and that is the trap. The English letter is wider than one nakshatra sound, so two names can share the letter and still belong to different nakshatras. Sahil means the shore. Sameer means a gentle wind. Shaurya means valour. Shiv means the auspicious one, Shiva. Sa, Sha, and Shi are separate beginnings once you leave the roman alphabet. Use this list to hear names, then set aside any that miss the sound written for the child. A soft S next to a hard surname can disappear, so speak the full name the way a teacher would on the first day.

Saad means Good fortune. Sabarinath means Lord of Sabarimala. Sabarish means Lord of Sabarimala; Ayyappa. Sabeeh means Handsome.
