Re: Need your suggestion for a "(Hindu) Name" for a Baby Girl!

It depends on:-
1> U want everyone to break their teeth uttering d name
2> U want it to start with d same letter as d mom or u
3> Old type name (big and heavy, the name )
4> Modern name (sweet and simple, at most two syllable)
5> Your mother tongue.

.....????!!!!!

I like these two names; Nilanjana, Madhurima and Payel...

@max_demon : Game character names will work if it sounds like a Hindu Girl name.
One more thing, I think I would not prefer celebrity famous names (specifically names like Actresses like Kareena , Aishwarya etc).

@rhitwick : Vendetta is obviously a good and meaningful name, doesn't it sounds like a boys name?

Hi Vilas Patil,

Congrats. Was your daughter born on 08.May.2009? That would be a Purnima right? (I am not sure)

If it indeed is Purnima on 08.May.2009, then name her accordingly. Something that resembles the moon. How about Purnima itself (or Poornima), Poonam, Chandralekha?

Regards,
Bandu.

Hi Guys/Girls,
My daughter is born on 16th of March (almost 2 months old now). We do have some customs & 'Pooja' at my native place (near Latur dist), and also the program of name giving ceremony, which we have delayed due to my crunch schedule at office (I hate this recession :D ). Presently my wife and baby are at my native place.

On 16th of this month, I would be visiting my native place to complete all the necessary 'customs, Pooja' & also a name giving ceremony.

Well, having said all the factors for delay, I was searching for the baby names on internet from the day one and scanned almost all the websites that I could found on Google search. Apart from that even I wrote a 'permutation and combination' program (java) to find all the possible names extracted from the combination of my and wife's name 'V I L A S & 'N E E T A' (more that 35 lack comb), I wanted to create a name for my baby out of this 10 alphabets, failed to do so.


Altogether, I initially gathered 1000 names from websites, then filtered/re filtered it and got 10 final names, Somehow, my wife was not that convinced of few names from the list, and for the rest, my parents were not comfortable. All this process is leading me to confusion & frustration. But I am very clear in my mind to turn every possible stone to select the best possible name for my sweet baby.

I surf 'Think Digit forum' every day, I do read almost all the threads technical & non-technical. Today while doing the same a thought clicked into my mind, to post the request to all the digitians for the valuable suggestions and I would tell you, I am Over helmed with the way you all have responded to my post.

Few of you want to see the picture of my baby, pls mail me your email ids so I can provide you the link for the same.

Woha... u wrote a program for that. Nice.

Vilas and Neeta ... hmmm... how about Neelam?

If I am not mistaken, Vilas means "Glitter" and Neeta means "Modest".

If I were to derive some name from Glitter, I'd go for Roshni

Nothing comes to my mind for "Modest" at the moment.

Wish you all the best in your name hunting.

Looks quite cute.
How about naming her Vidya then ? Because once looks are taken care of, only knowledge is needed to make a person complete. Money will come by itself.

[thats what my grandfather says. don't think I'm some kind of philosopher or something :p]

Well, thanks for replying... am sorry I did not mention the specifications for the name in my fist post...

here it goes ...

a) my wife wants "short and sweet" name
b) I am looking for a very unique & modern name
c) my mother tongue is Marathi (but it does not matter much for us as far as the
suggested name is a Hindu one)
d) my name starts with 'V' and my wife's with 'N' ((again am not much bothered about
the starting alphabet, however my wife is inclined towards the starting letter 'V')

Tanvi is good as it is short, sweet, unique (Not as Much as Mine, but still quite unique) , modern, hindu and includes both V and N.

I don't think you should start name with V as it will come in the End in the class and she will always have to remain at the end in Attendance Register unless there is someone in her class with name Zubeida :D

T will come at the end too but it wont matter as there are many children with names starting with T or V or Y

And you could call her Tanu / Tannu at home. :D
