Tips for parents

  • Test the name in a sentence you will say a hundred times a day, such as calling your son in for dinner.
  • Check the meaning you prefer, since two short names can sound alike but wish very different things.
  • Ask how the name will be written in Nepali, especially if you are choosing between Bipul and Vipul.
  • Keep the spelling simple for school records, and avoid adding letters that nobody in the family will pronounce.
