If you open a book to a random page, beginning letter of first word is the letter for your child's first name?

I got this from the Sikh religion (not going too deep about Religion FYI) where the beginning letter of the first word on the page determines the first letter of the child’s name.

If you want you could pick the letter from a book of your religion, or a novel you are currently reading, etc.

Which Letter did you get, and if possible what are some names you would consider for that letter.
