Vishakha Nakshatra Baby Names: Ti, Tu, Te, To
Baby names for Vishakha nakshatra: the pada syllables Ti, Tu, Te, To, the rashi of each pada, and real boy and girl names with meanings.
Vishakha is nakshatra 16 of 27, ruled by Jupiter, with Indra and Agni together (Indragni) as its deity. When the Moon is in Vishakha at birth, tradition takes the first sound of the child's name from the Moon's pada: Ti for the first pada, Tu for the second, Te for the third and To for the fourth (ती, तू, ते, तो).
By rashi: padas 1, 2, 3 in Libra; pada 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.

Padas 1, 2, 3 in Libra; pada 4 in Scorpio. A rashi taken from the name (naam rashi) is a naming convention; the real Moon sign comes from the birth time.

Must the name begin with this syllable?
No. It is a lovely tradition, not a rule. Many families choose freely, and a name that begins with another sound does no harm.
The syllables are the common North Indian table our kundli engine uses (a test keeps the two identical). Names chosen by the Satmarg Astro editorial team; they are suggestions, not rules. All 27 nakshatras
