Tips for parents
- Count the letters on the spelling you will actually write, since a name like Shraddha gains a letter with each h.
- Try the name with your surname before you settle, as eight letters can feel long beside a short family name and balanced beside a long one.
- Say the middle cluster aloud a few times, because Prakriti and Sushmita are often shortened by small children.
- Write the name in Devanagari too, as in प्रियंका for Priyanka, so it reads the same at home and at school.
