How to Pick the Ideal Baby Name?: Our parenting experience is not complete if we don't talk about the naming process. Days and nights, debates and many conversations are spent to discuss and explore what will we name our babies.
Perhaps the naming ceremony (however big or small) is the most special right after the milestone of a baby's birth. In different countries and cultures, the traditions are different. Here in India, there are many ways to do the naming. Some choose a ceremony, some do the naamkaran, some call a priest and ask him/her to choose a name for their child or pick an alphabet for families to select a name with. The meaning of a name is very important in this entire process. What's very special about naming your baby is the meaning of the name you choose. A lot lies in that special meaning. All our lives, our identity, is our name. Find out what it takes to pick a name. We have a long list of names for you to choose from below, but first, how do you pick the ideal baby name?
How to Pick the Ideal Baby Name?
- It should be special. Not just that, it should be special for you as parents.
- Don't opt for passing trends.
- See what works for you and for your family
- Honour your culture.
- Look up meanings. They are so important to the naming process.
- Contemplate all possible nicknames. Remember you don't want your baby's name to be chopped and made fun of.
How does it rhyme? Check if the name rhymes well and not with some funny words. Who wants their child to become the end of all jokes in schools? Think hard about how the name 'sounds'?
Is Short Better?: Someone once said that names can be short, and crisp and just two syllables. For other who love longer ones, there is no reason to worry. However, traditionally, one has seen you can save your child a world of future frustration because short names fill forms faster.
Consider nicknames: Make sure you're happy with both the long and short versions of your child's name. You can be sure Chandrashekhar would be turned Chandra, or Shekhar? Anubhuti would be often called Anu. So perceive the nickname as you plan to the name the baby.
Should I Pick a Traditional Name?
- Traditional Indian names have made a big return among modern parents. Shankeran to Randhir to Rajveer to Prameet to Chandrashekhar, of late many parents have started naming their children after what have been prominent names in Indian traditions, mythology and stories.
- The name, whether modern or traditional should be determined by how you associate that name with your life. For many in India, gods and goddesses make for great, powerful and bold names.
