What is Naamkaran Shubh Muhurat
Precisely "Naama" means a name, and "Karana" is "to initiate, to make an effort." The Naamakaran Sanskar generally takes place 10 days after the baby's birth. However, in every Indian household both the mother and the new born are regarded impure during these ten postnatal days. The home is sanctified after those ten days. Then every ritual goes on as usual in the family.
The naamakaran is the 5th Sanskar among 16 rituals prevalent in Hindu Sanskaras. There is logically nothing in a name but it is Sanskar that forces parents to give a name. If the name is given properly by astrologers, it can add fame and glory in the life of the new born. Therefore, it is crucial to find a name that can bring glory in the life of the baby. The naming of every Hindu infant is done according to Hindu traditional systems. Though the occasion is losing its glamour like the past times, still every Hindu has firm faith in the Naamakaran Sanskar.

How is the perfect name picked up?
According to Hindu scriptures, if a baby is named properly it can win glory and fame as he proceeds with age. It is taken into account which letter of the Sanskrit alphabet is auspicious for the infant based on the star or Nakshatra at the moment of birth. Then a name that begins with that alphabet is selected for the baby.
When does Naamkaran Shubh Muhurat take place?
The things that one must keep in mind while selecting a baby name.
The first letter of a child's name seems exceptionally fortunate. There are 5 broad rules to go for what should be done while naming a baby.
Janam Nakshatranam
Devatanama (named after the household deity)
Masanam (name after the month of the child's birth)
Samsarikanama (a general name)
Rashinama (following the horoscope of the baby)
According to the scriptural faith a baby girl's name must have odd-numbered characters (3, 5, 7, 9), and a baby boy’s name must have letters of even-numbers (2, 4, 6, 8).
When is the Naamkaran Ceremony done?
The Namakarana Pooja generally takes place ten days after the birth of the baby.
It can also be called baptizing.
The full process of Naamkaran Vidhi
The infant is washed and the parents also take bath and wear new clothes on this day.
The parents then are told to sit at the Hawan place with the kid on the lap.
The pandit then goes on for the Havan and thereafter creates the child's astrological chart. Based on the horoscope, a character is chosen after the kid’s star sign. Parents thereafter name the child beginning with the specific alphabet.
After the Puja Karmas, the parents whisper the name in the kid’s ear. Then the members of the family pick up the child on their lap and begin calling it with the new name given to it. The namakaran has no specific rules. Different communities arrange the auspicious holy function according to their own styles.
