Naming Tips for Modern Indian Families
If you're raising kids in a multilingual environment, consider how the name works across languages. Names like Arya, Maya, and Neel transition effortlessly between Hindi and English. Avoid names with sounds that don't exist in the languages your child will use daily — it saves them a lifetime of corrections.
Also think about common abbreviations. Every Aishwarya becomes "Ash" in school. Every Abhishek becomes "Abhi." If the shortcut sounds good too, you've found a winner.
