Tips for parents

  • Notice that Shila and Sushila share a sense of good conduct, so pick the shorter or longer form by the sound you prefer.
  • Ask grandparents how they would write the name in Devanagari, since शिला and सुशीला show the short and long vowels clearly.
  • If the name ends in a soft la, check how it sounds with a surname that begins with l, so the two do not run together.
  • Read the story behind Urmila or Pramila if you want a name with a tale to tell.
