Frequently asked questions
When should I choose my baby's name?
Many families shortlist names during pregnancy and finalise after birth at the naming ceremony (Namkaran), often on the 11th or 12th day.
Can I choose a name from a story?
Yes. Names from the Mahabharata, Ramayana and Puranas carry the qualities of their characters — reading those stories in pregnancy is a lovely way to choose.
