A name works best when its number is friendly with the child’s Mulank (Moolank), the day of birth reduced to one digit. Number 6 compares with each Mulank like this:

|---|---|---|
| 1, 10, 19, 28 | 1 (Sun) | Difficult |
| 2, 11, 20, 29 | 2 (Moon) | Challenging |
| 3, 12, 21, 30 | 3 (Jupiter) | Challenging |

| 8, 17, 26 | 8 (Saturn) | Excellent |

Rudra in astrology: rashi and nakshatra
Families who follow the naam akshar choose a name that starts with the syllable of the baby’s birth nakshatra. Rudra starts with रू (Ru), the syllable of Swati pada 1, which falls in Tula rashi (Libra), ruled by Venus.
So Rudra is a traditional fit for a boy born when the Moon was in Swati pada 1, and many families also accept it for any Tula rashi baby.
