Tips for parents

  • Listen to how your family says व, since some say it close to v and others close to w, and the name should sound natural at home.
  • Vijay, Vijaya and Viajay are close in spelling; pick one and use it on every document.
  • Vidya works for a son or a daughter, so it can be a good choice if you want one name to serve either child.
  • Check the first Devanagari letter, because Vishma begins with भ and not व, even though English files it under V.
