The Jewish name is a keystone of Jewish identity for all Jews. It is customary to give a Jewish name when the baby is born.

is there software program to help me find tanach verse corresponding to first letter or name and last letter of name? Todah !

I am not aware of any such software program, but if you interested in any particular name for the tanach verse, if you contact me, I will gladly send you the verse.

I don't know of any such software program. But many siddurim, including the annotated edition of the Siddur Tehillat Hashem and the ArtScrool siddurim, have lists of verses corresponding to different people's names in the back.

When searching for a verse, one must also be careful with the corrects spelling, especially with the last letter. This can be problematic when the name is not of Hebrew origin. For example, many women's names whose origins are Yiddish, do not end with an ayin. The general rule is that Yiddish names such as Elka, Zelda, Doba, Feiga, etc. end with an Aleph and not a Hey. Hebrew names would end with a Hey. There are names that do end with an Aleph or Hey. There are Halachic books that do list the correct spellings for many of these names.
