Tips for parents

  • Ask which Devanagari letter the family wants at the start, since ब, व and भ all become B in English and the difference matters on paper.
  • Choose between Barsha and Barkha by the way you say the name, not only by the spelling on the page.
  • Write Bhawana and Bina in Devanagari early, so the spelling on the birth certificate matches the one you use at home.
  • Say the full name with your surname and listen for a doubled b sound, which can make a short name feel tight.
