Tips for parents

  • Notice which Nepali letter sits under the E, since ए, इ, ई and य each sound different even though English writes them all as E.
  • Choose Ekta or Ekraj if you want a short name with a clear Nepali meaning.
  • Check the spelling of an English name like Elliott, which is written इलियट rather than with an ए.
  • Write the name in Devanagari beside the English spelling, so both match on the birth certificate and at home.
