Good questions
Do I have to use the suggested syllable?
No. It is a naming custom, not an obligation or a prediction about the child. Choose a name your family likes and understands.
What if the birth Nakshatra is near a boundary?
Verify the birth time and time zone first. A Pada boundary changes the suggested sound; uncertain data should not produce an overconfident naming instruction.
Do my details leave my browser?
No calculator input is sent to a server. Saved Kundlis are kept on your device only when you choose to save them.
Is the result professional advice?
No. Read the method and limitations. Interpretive material is for reflection and cultural interest, not medical, legal or financial advice.
