A baby boy with the Moon in Vrishchik (Scorpio) is named from the syllable of his birth nakshatra pada: To (Vishakha, 4th pada), Na, Ni, Nu, Ne (Anuradha) or No, Ya, Yi, Yu (Jyeshtha). Popular choices include Naman, Nikhil, Neeraj, Yash and Yuvraj. Mula is not part of Vrishchik — it belongs to Dhanu Rashi.
