I Will Tell You The Truth About Baby Name In The Next 60 Seconds.

 

What’s in a name? Ask this question to parents and you will get some of the funniest answers in the world.  It’s too difficult to choose a unique name especially if a baby is proverbial black sheep of the family. Sometimes it is inspired by our mythological heritage and sometimes by the lead character of our beloved movie or serial family drama. All family members including distant relatives participate wholeheartedly to grab this noble opportunity and they are having their hilarious reason to choose one. However, out of all these noble suggestions, it is very difficult to conclude a name that suits the characteristics of the baby. After all “name” is something that a baby carries all through his lifetime. 

The ancient and traditional name has lost its charm in the current trend. Most parents are interested in choosing a modern name that stand-apart their baby from the rest of the world. Often it so happens that parents are unable to find a suitable name in any of the related books and websites. But sometimes this uniqueness drives them so crazy to select some weird name for which child has to pay too dearly. It’s very difficult to spell and pronounce such a name - for the baby as well as for the rest of the world. Thank God! The serial family drama has taken the role of providing a trendy name in the society concurred by our previous generations.

In Indian society, we cannot forgo the importance of a horoscope. A methodology that predicts someone’s future based on the relative position of the planets. It resonates with a natural frequency of “name” which is strong enough to amplify the baby’s characteristics. As per Hindu mythology, these predicted names based on these planetary motions guarantee the happiness of a child. It may seem to be superstitious, but we as parents weigh these supernatural powers because somewhere deep down in our hearts we believe in their existence. Nobody can ever quantify its impact on an individual’s life but whatever is the reason it provides a helping hand in concluding a suitable name.

A beautiful nickname derived from the actual name narrates a different story. And to my amazement, rather unconvincing and unconstitutional, we as parents rarely use the actual name in our normal conversation. Perhaps it is meant for society to recognize a person. Parents don’t require this fuss to connect with their babies. These names finally become a random password along with some special characters. And the funniest part is - Unaware of all these superstitions, mysteries, and dilemmas, the baby enjoys deep calm sleep.

Happy Parenting!
