Tips for parents
- Kabita and Kalpana are ordinary words as well as names, so your child will meet them in books from an early age.
- Kripa and Karuna sit close in meaning; choose by sound rather than by a small difference in definition.
- If you like Khushbu but want the softer क, look at Kusum or Komal instead.
- Say the name with your surname, since a short K name can sound abrupt after a surname that ends in a vowel.
