In traditional Telugu namakaranam, the relationship runs from star to name, not the other way round: a child's birth nakshatra determines which syllable the name should begin with. Ashwini nakshatra gives Chu, Che, Cho or La; Magha gives Ma, Mi, Mu or Me; and so on across all twenty-seven.
The rashi and nakshatra shown against each name here are that mapping read backwards — they tell you which birth star a name is traditionally suited to. They are computed from the name's first syllable using the standard syllable table, not assigned by hand, and they are not a claim about any individual child. If you already know your baby's nakshatra, use these fields to find names that fit it. If you don't, treat them as background rather than instruction.
The numerology number is the Pythagorean reduction of the romanized spelling (A=1 … I=9, J=1 … R=9, S=1 … Z=8, summed and reduced to one digit). It is included because people look for it; it is a naming custom, not a prediction.
