Dr.D, Some families in India consult a jyotishi to determine when is the best time for birth to give the child a favorable birth time. When the birth time is determined, then the mothers undergo the C-section operation. According to jyotish principles, the birth time occurs when the baby takes the first breath outside of the mother's womb.
Personally, I was consulted to determine the birth time delivery for a baby. I used a technique called "nimittas", which refers to good omens. When I was pondering this question, I witnessed a baptism in church of a child who was christened, "Adam". So, I chose this name as the basis of determining my client's child. The syllable "A" refers to the 4th quarter of the nakshatra of Krittika. So, it was only a matter of determining the date and time when the Moon will transit this sector. The client agreed and the baby was delivered by C-section. He chose to call his male child, "Aditi", meaning the Sun in Hindu mythology.
