Baby Names

When you come to know that someone in your family or friend circle has welcomed a new member into their family, there is always a curiosity to know the name they have chosen for their baby. Choosing a name for a baby is a big responsibility because it will be what defines them. It is also what they will hear the most in their lives. Naming a baby should be done by taking care and time to decide. Because it will be the most valuable present you are offering them. To help you decide a name for your baby we have prepared a list below that will help you:

Religion

Even though we live in modern times, religion still plays the biggest deciding factor for a baby’s name. You can decide to name your baby based on the names of Gods, Goddesses, Deities or Saints.

Examples:
Girl - Saanvi, which another name for Goddess Lakshmi
Boy - Reyansh which is another name for Lord Vishnu.

It is also commonly observed in India that parents don’t immediately decide on a name and rather wait for a few months before taking the final decision. You can observe the baby’s actions and habits to decide on the name or even look at the physical attributes of the child.

Examples:
Girl – Anika, which means grace (if she is graceful and moves freely)
Boy – Shaurya, which means valiant (if he is adventurous)

Unique

The Indian culture is the richest in the world. If you are still confused, you can take inspiration from the vast Indian-culture’s and beliefs.

Examples:
Girl – Shanaya, which means the sun’s first rays signifying new beginning
Boy – Pranav, which is a name derived from the symbol OM

Simple

In this age of globalization, it is possible that your child will travel to foreign countries or have direct interactions with people from all over the world. Therefore choose a name that is easy and simple to pronounce or a name that has foreign roots.

Examples:
Girls – Sara, which means princess in Hebrew
Boys – Veer, which means brave

Parent’s Bond

You can name your child from the parent’s names. This trend is fast becoming popular amongst the young parents and it also brings them closer to each other.

Examples:
If the father’s name is Bharat and the mother’s name is Ritika the little baby boy can be called Rishabh.

Future


Parents always envision their children to fulfill their dreams and become what they have always aspired to be, so you can also name your child based on what you would like for their future to hold and the virtues and qualities they should aspire to have.

Examples:
Girl – Rhea, which means singer
Boy – Aryan, which means illustrious

There are many ways for you to decide the name of your precious angel, but remember that as parents whatever name you decide will be the best!
