Hindu baby naming

[Nachiketa]

Namaste,
Was wondering if somebody could guide me regarding the process of selecting a baby's name in Hinduism.
Was told that it involves the time of birth;but in the U.S it gets a little tricky, given that a baby's name should be registered immediately after birth and consulting a priest takes time.
Any advice from the esteemed members?
Thanks

Namaste,
My brother just had a daugther two weeks ago. Yes, you have to register the name of the baby right away but talking to the temple pujari was just a phone call away. He needed to know the exact time of birth, date, place etc. and suggested a first word that should be her name.

Dear Sri Satay,
thanks once again for the info.
Again curiosity getting the better of me....what does Satay mean?

satay as in 'chicken satay' which used to be my favourite food in a previous life.

I like 'tarka' so satay is for that...
