Tips for parents

  • Ask what kind of fame you mean: Yash is fame itself, while Gaurav is the honour a family feels.
  • Pick one spelling for pairs like Gaurav and Gaurab, or Roshan and Raushan, and keep it on every document.
  • A praise name such as Prasamsa or Mohammad feels gentle rather than grand, which suits a quiet child.
  • Say the name with your surname, since a short name like Yash sits lightly beside a longer family name.
