There are a ton of decisions that come with new parenthood. Cloth diapers or disposable? Breastfeeding or formula? One parent’s last name, or something hyphenated? Scheduled feeding or on-demand? A family name, or something more unique? The gravity of these decisions vary, but few will have as long-lasting and regular impact as choosing your baby’s name. Here’s how to choose a good one.
A good baby name is one that you won’t mind repeating constantly (more times than you can imagine). You may want a name that says something about who your baby is or evokes family history or a beloved family member. It’s a good idea to consider how unique any potential names are. Some names are more likely to be shared among peers, while others have a high chance of being misspelled and mispronounced.
Finding a baby name that’s unique, has long term appeal, and goes well with your last name isn’t easy. If you’ve combed all the baby name books and tried all the name generators and are still stuck, consider finding inspiration in an Indian baby name. If your background is Indian, choosing an Indian baby name for your boy or girl is a great way to signify your baby’s heritage. But even if you have no relation to Indian culture, choosing a modern Indian baby name will ensure your child’s name is as unique and beautiful as they are.
