Tips for parents

  • Write the Devanagari form beside the Roman one, since names like Sunny and Prince are spelled by sound in Nepali.
  • A word name such as Unique or Royal stands out, so pair it with a familiar middle name for balance.
  • Check whether you want the short form on the birth certificate: Vicky can stand alone, but it also shortens Vikram.
  • Say the name with your surname to hear where the stress falls, because English names often shift it in Nepali speech.
