Our name is our identity; this fact was understood by saints and sages in ancient times, and based on this knowledge, naming rites or rituals came into existence as a religious practice.
In Indian astrology, this ceremony is considered auspicious as marriages and other important rituals. Its name has religious and practical value in a person's life. Therefore, a person's name must be good as well as meaningful. From the behavioral point of view, the name's importance can be studied because even a person in a deep sleep recognizes his name if the name calls him.

The naming ceremony is one of the 16 essential rites of Hinduism. Therefore, in Hinduism, the naming ceremony is an important and auspicious function. Usually, the ceremony takes place 11 days after the child's birth. However, as a rule, if a child is born under Gandmool Nakshatra, the naming ceremony should take place after 27 days. The ceremony will be held only after the ritual and treatment to soothe the Gandmool Nakshatra. Therefore, the naming ceremony should always take place under the guidance of a priest or astrologer.
Importance of naming ceremony
The name of a child depends on the position of the Moon in the constellation. The zodiac sign in which the Moon resides at birth is a birth sign. The child is named with the initial letter or zodiac of the constellation in which the Moon resides. Therefore, if a child's name is taken in this way, it leads to progress and success. However, it is not necessary that you have to name a child, as stated by a priest. You can choose a different name with initial names determined by astrology. According to Hinduism, the naming ceremony should be performed on an auspicious date, day, and constellation.

Along with this, the Nakshatras named Mrigashira, Rohini, Pushya, Revathi, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravan, Ashwini, Shatabhisha, etc. are auspicious for the naming ceremony.

Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are good for celebrations.

According to astrology, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11,12 and 13th tithis are considered good.
Yogas
Except for Vyaspeeth, Vaidriti, Bhadra, and Sankranti, all are good.
How to choose a name for your child
Nowadays, parents name their children according to their convenience. However, according to the scriptures, the child's birth should be determined, keeping in mind the constellation and the month. This should be done with a Pandit's help during the auspicious naming ceremony Muhurat.
Naming ceremony
The naming ceremony is a religious ritual, so havan and yajna should be organized at auspicious times. The father of the infant mainly performs this ritual. In front of Agni (fire god), they chant mantras to remember/invoke their ancestors' Panch spirits. Now, the astrologer gives the first alphabet with which the child's name should be according to the description of the infant's birth. However, if, for some reason, the child's father does not attend the ceremony, the child's maternal grandfather or uncle (father's elder brother) may sit in his place. However, the ceremony also involves relatives who bless the infant.
According to Hindu customs, the naming ceremony should be performed on dates during special times, which are auspicious. So, here is the month-wise list of auspicious naming ceremony dates in 2021:
