Tips for parents
- Check the Nepali first letter: most V names use व, but Vhima and Victory use भ, which sounds like 'bh'.
- Vineeta, Vinita and Vinata are close in sound; pick the spelling you can say clearly with your surname.
- A name like Varsha or Vidyut brings a picture of weather with it, so think about the image you want your daughter to carry.
- Say Vidya and Vimala with your surname; the -a ending can blend into a surname that begins with a vowel.
