Tips for parents
- Write the name in Devanagari as well as Roman letters, since a short spelling can leave the vowel length unclear.
- Say the name with your surname, because a one- or two-syllable first name can sound clipped beside a long family name.
- Check that the meaning fits what you hope for her, rather than choosing on sound alone.
- Try the name in a full sentence, as you would call her across a room.
