Tips for parents

  • Decide early whether the English spelling will start with B or V, since Bibek and Vivek are the same name.
  • If you want a firm b sound at the start, look at the ब spellings; the व spellings sound softer to many ears.
  • Two-syllable names such as Binod, Bijay and Bimal sit easily beside a long surname.
  • Write the name in Devanagari and say it aloud with your surname before you settle on it.
