Nature and traits
Shravana is ruled by Vishnu, the preserver, and symbolised by an ear or three footprints. Its name means "hearing", and people with the Moon here are often good listeners, eager learners and keepers of knowledge and tradition. They learn by listening and pass on what they have learned. Tradition links Shravana with wisdom gained through study and with connecting people, so teaching, counselling, media, languages, music and travel suit it well. Its gift is attentive understanding and a wish to be useful; its lesson is to listen to one's own inner voice as carefully as to others.
These are traditional tendencies, not verdicts. Your full kundali — ascendant, planets and dasha — gives the personal picture.

Traditionally a child's name begins with the syllable of the pada the Moon occupied at birth (namakshar). Syllables follow the 108-pada Swar Siddhanta list (the Avakahada Chakra) as published by Drik Panchang.
