Anuradha Nakshatra Baby Names: Na, Ni, Nu, Ne
Baby names for Anuradha nakshatra: the pada syllables Na, Ni, Nu, Ne, the rashi of each pada, and real boy and girl names with meanings.
Anuradha is nakshatra 17 of 27, ruled by Saturn, with Mitra, god of friendship and agreements as its deity. When the Moon is in Anuradha at birth, tradition takes the first sound of the child's name from the Moon's pada: Na for the first pada, Ni for the second, Nu for the third and Ne for the fourth (ना, नी, नू, ने).
By rashi: padas 1, 2, 3, 4 in Scorpio. The syllables are the common North Indian table, the same one our kundli engine uses; South Indian and some regional tables differ in places. The names below are suggestions — real, commonly used names with their meanings.

No. It is a lovely tradition, not a rule. Many families choose freely, and a name that begins with another sound does no harm.
