Tips for parents

  • Say Om and Omkar side by side; the difference is a single syllable, and both are simple for a child to write.
  • Pick Ojaswi if you like a bright meaning, or Ojash if you want the same idea in two syllables.
  • Check the Devanagari spelling of an English-style choice like Owen, which is written ओवेन rather than with a Sanskrit root.
  • Try the name with your surname before deciding, since a short O name can sound quite different with a long family name.
