Tips for parents

  • Weigh length against your surname: Dhan and Basu are short and open, while Dhananjaya and Samriddhi carry more formality.
  • Decide whether you want a word for riches, as in Dhan, or a wish for well-being, as in Samriddhi.
  • Laxmi is used for boys and girls alike, so say it with the middle name you have in mind before you settle.
  • Many of these names end in -esh, as Alkesh and Nibesh do; our guide to Nepali name endings explains what that ending adds.
