  • Puspa and Pushpa, and Pratiksha and Pratikshya, are pairs like this too; pick one and stay with it.
  • Decide whether you want a name of two syllables, like Priya, or three, like Priyanka, before you shortlist.
  • Look at the meaning you want first, then the spelling, because several P names share a similar sound.
