Revati Nakshatra Baby Names
In the namakaran tradition, a baby born under Revati nakshatra is given a name beginning with one of its four sounds — De, Do, Cha, Chi — chosen by the pada (quarter) the Moon occupied at birth. Revati is ruled by Mercury. Below are the four padas with their starting sounds and some example names.

These are illustrative names that begin with the nakshatra’s starting sounds — a starting point, not a fixed list.
The exact pada — and so the exact starting sound — depends on the precise birth time, since the Moon moves through all four padas of a nakshatra in roughly a day.
