Filed Under (Baby Names) by Sushant on 04-10-2010
Naming times are filled with fun and gesticulation. There are song and dance happenings with elders giving their choicest blessing to the new born. This is festive time, the time of the birth denotes the nakshatra and raashi of the child and the name is normally kept on those indications. It is a trend to now give the child, modern yet meaningful names.
The birth of the baby boy is often related with Lord Krishna. The naughtiness and the boyish cherubic appeal of Krishna is now capture in names like Anish, Darsh, Bankim, Manhar, Nathan and Saket.
Vasav and Yatin refer to Lord Indra, who is the Devesh (King) of all Gods.
Indians who have allegiance to Lord Shiva often name their offspirngs with the variants of Shiva like Shivil, Mahesh, Lavitra, Dakshesh and Arha.
The innocence and power of Lord Ganesh is captured in modern listings like Ibhanan and Kshipra.
Vishnu is also known as Ijay and Samarjit, Inesh and Ish.
Avi means Sun and Yamir is Moon.
The above names are representing Gods and yet not clichéd in the typical common selections.
Names like Mahesh, Raj, Pushpak, Ramchandra, Krishna, Ganpathy, Hrishikesh, Dilip, Kumar, Viral are not common any more and are replaced with better sounding names that are unique and render meaning.
‘A’ names are Arin, Akshaya, Akriti, Aman, Adhibaan, Adhithan and Armaan.
In the Sikh tradition it is highly difficult to bifurcate a girl name from a boy. The mentioning of Singh for boy and Kaur for girl becomes essential with each name. Harbhajan, Harmeet, Prableen, Pratap, Rajinder, Kuljeet, Karminder, Harmann, Mandeep, Manmeet are few examples here.
