  • Muna, meaning bud, and Radha are among the names given to both boys and girls, so either can suit a son or a daughter.
  • A short name like Lal or Dil carries a tender tone; say it with your surname to hear how it lands.
  • Read the meanings of Manoj and Madan first, since both point to Kamadeva, the god of love, and that may shape how you feel about the name.
