Tips for parents

  • Decide whether you want a name that begins with the full word Om, or one that merely starts with the O sound, like Ojaswi.
  • Omkar and Omnath are short and rooted in the syllable Om, while Omprakash and Omkrishna are longer and more formal.
  • Oshan and Ocean share a meaning; pick the spelling that looks clearer with your surname.
  • Say Ojaswi and Osho aloud, since the 'sh' sound can be written in more than one way.
