Meaningful Baby Names

Names are a part of our personality. They give a certain meaning and aid our persona and hence names and spellings are very important. The concept of naming a child in each religion is quite a privileged affair. This is a time to celebrate and wish the very best for the newborn. In many countries the custom is followed with lot of fervor, gifts and invoking the best wishes to be conferred for the child’s growth. A child brings so much joy in a family and hence the name of the baby is very much essential.

Names certainly have meaning and can be related to God names, mythology or virtues. Ethan or Elisha are distinctly Biblical names. Other common Christian names are Samantha, Sarah and Kimberly for girls. Baby boy Christian names include Benjamin, Michael and John which are common. Interesting latest names include Lauren, Zyan, Zara and Nisya.

Hindu names are usually after the Gods or go about giving a variant of the deity. There are other names that bring about the qualities in a person like Adarsh is for principle and Shourya means courage. Shlok means the verses or Geet means songs. Twin kids names are also interesting and can be done keeping the same deity or quality in mind.

Muslim or Islamic names are full of meaning and mostly seem to be adjectives. Kanz means treasure, Kayan means the sun and Muskaan means smile. Parvez means success and Ittar means perfume. Names like Shanon, Ryan and Paris are getting to be cosmopolitan in nature and do not conform to any religion.

Pet names are also common and are usually a slang of the actual name. In India names like Guddi, Pappu are common pet names. The surname also makes the name sound complete. Parents have great many choices in naming the child with references from our holy scripts, mythology and literature. Books are also available to choose from so that the choice is wide.
