    The arrival of a baby is a turning milestone in the life of a parent. Babies are a blessing in disguise, and naming them is the biggest challenge parents face. Selecting an apt name is a task in itself. Name defines the personality of the child and so selecting a name for the new-born is no cakewalk. Naming a child can be a confusing and daunting prospect for parents since they have to choose the right one from about a zillion options. Near and dear ones pour in umpteen naming suggestions and you must consider your choices too.

    FAQ’s

    1. How Do You Name a Hindu Baby?

    The Hindu Baby is generally named in a ceremony called “namkaran” that is held in the first few weeks after the birth of the baby. It is done in some families on the 6th, 11th, 12th or the 14th day of the birth of the child. This ceremony is attended by relatives and feasts are prepared for the same.

    2. What is the Most Attractive Name For a Boy in India?

    There is no one name that can be considered attractive for a baby boy in India. Since names in India are kept on the basis of many factors, no one name can be decided. What is good for one family might not be that apt for the other.

    Hindu mythology has a plethora of names and naming a Hindu baby boy on them could impart many qualities to his personality. Also, help him to become a better human being. It is thus very important to understand the meaning and then decide on a name as it can impact the child and its future.

    3. How do Hindu Names Change Over Time And in Different Regions of India?

    Parents prefer picking up beautiful names that reflect Hindu culture and heritage. Now, since everything is changing, Hindu names also began to change to be on par with the generation gaps. Although the meaning stays the same, pronunciation and acceptance are considered the most during this time. Including the culture and the norms of that particular area where they dwell and want their kids to grow up has also been a prime factor before giving a name.

    4. How do Hindu Names Reflect Culture And Religion?

    There are a plethora of Hindu names, all of which originated from Gods, Goddesses, and diverse religious beliefs. Hinduism has a rich culture and history that talks about many inspiring epics filled with great humanity and divinity. Every adjective that describes the richness of Hindu culture can be selected as a name. They are auspicious and help the name bearer build a character that aligns with the name and also helps him/her become a better human being.
