Tips for parents

  • Say the name with your surname, since a one-syllable name like Ram or Om can sound strong beside a longer family name.
  • Check the initials before you commit, as short names make initials more noticeable.
  • Look at the name in Devanagari as well as English, so both sides of the family write it the same way.
  • Try the name in a middle position if a one-syllable first name feels too abrupt beside your surname.
