What letter should a Uttara Ashadha nakshatra baby's name start with?

Names for Uttara Ashadha-born babies traditionally begin with one of these sounds: Bhe, Bho, Ja, Ji. The precise sound depends on the pada (quarter) of the nakshatra at the moment of birth.

Do I need the exact birth time to pick the syllable?

To pin the exact pada (and its single sound) you need an accurate birth time. Without it, any of the nakshatra's four pada-sounds is considered acceptable and auspicious.

Does numerology matter along with the nakshatra?

Yes. The nakshatra governs the starting sound; numerology governs how the whole name's number sits with the child's birth and destiny numbers. The strongest names satisfy both.

This is the general meaning. See what your own birth chart says — free.

In the Vedic tradition, a baby's first name is chosen from the Janma Nakshatra, the lunar mansion the Moon occupied at birth. A child born under Uttara Ashadha nakshatra (ruled by Sun, presiding deity Vishvadevas) carries the qualities of final victory, leadership, universal, and the name is traditionally begun with a specific auspicious sound fixed by the nakshatra's pada (quarter).

Pair the name with your baby's numerology

The nakshatra fixes the starting sound; a truly auspicious name also harmonises its Chaldean name-number with the child's birth number (mulank) and destiny number (bhagyank). A name on the right syllable but a clashing number is only half-aligned. AstroMedha's naming engine checks both at once: the lucky sound and the number harmony, then suggests names tuned to your child's exact chart.
