Makara Rashi (Capricorn) baby names
When the Moon is in Capricorn at birth, the child’s Rashi is Makara. Its nine padas are Uttara Ashadha 2–4, Shravana 1–4, Dhanishta 1–2, so the traditional starting syllables are “Bo”, “Ja”, “Ji”, “Ju”, “Je”, “Jo”, “Gha”, “Ga”, “Gi”.
Bo · Uttara Ashadha 2Ja · Uttara Ashadha 3Ji · Uttara Ashadha 4Ju · Shravana 1Je · Shravana 2Jo · Shravana 3Gha · Shravana 4Ga · Dhanishta 1Gi · Dhanishta 2

If you know the exact birth time, the calculator shows both. Other signs: Mesha · Vrishabha · Mithuna · Karka · Simha · Kanya · Tula · Vrishchika · Dhanu · Kumbha · Meena.
