Name Have Great Significance

The Ramayana of Valmiki is hailed as Adikavya, the foremost among all spiritual works in poetic form. Valmiki was a hunter by birth and was taught only 'Ma' & 'Ra' which became the turning point in his life. His life changed drastically after that. 

His spiritual transformation can be gauged by the fact that he became the chosen one to transcribe the life of the lord. His life is the standing testimony to the efficacy of chanting the Divine name and his immortal work is a source of perrenial inspiration. 

In Ramayana, the name was chosen after great deliberation. This divine name is unique in that it is also a mantra capable of delivering man from bondage.

The choice of the name Bharata indicated that he would shoulder responsibility. Lakshmana means one who is blessed by the grace of Goddess of Wealth, Lakshmi.

Shatrughana indicates that one who has taken control over himself.

So the names have always played a very important meaning in our life.

Hence chose the names for your kids very carefully.

What to Consider when naming a baby

Start by thinking your own name: Would you give yourself the same name you already have? 

Go down the memory name and see weather you were ever teased because of your name. Did you ever like to have a different name? Do you feel let down because of your name? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then analyze your “whys,” before naming your child.


Then think about your last name:- 
If its short and simple then you can pair it with a large first name. But if it’s to long and ethnic then you might consider giving your child a short and simple first name.

A Middle Name:- 
Four fifths of people in Who’s Who have middle names. It will be easier to identify your child if he has a meaningful middle name. There may be many John Crains out there, but the number decreases dramatically by adding a distinctive middle name…such as John Schuyler Crains.

Initials 
Ah, superstition! It is said that people whose initials spell out a word will be wealthy. If you believe the superstition, then rig it so that your child’s name will spell out a word. But be kind. Make sure the word is one with which your child will want to be associated.

Nicknames 
A Hungarian Proverb says, “ A child that is loved has many names” And most nicknames are a sign affection. Studies have shown that  people with nicknames tend to be better adjusted. Plus, nicknames 
seem to promote a certain intimacy and indicate friendship.

Spelling 
Our first inclination was to say, keep the spelling conventional so that your child doesn’t have to go through life correcting everybody.

A tough Act To follow It might be traditional in some western countries to give a boy his father’s name, tacking on a “Junior” or “II” or “III” but we think you could do better than that. “Give your child his own name.

The Meaning of It all The meanings of names go way back to the beginning of Recorded History and it all depends on which historical record you go by. A meaning is the most distinct and important identity of the name.

Sound It out. Lastly just say the name aloud, which you have chosen. Does it sound good. Be sure to see that when the last name begins from the same letter the first name ends, its hard to tell where the first name ends and the last name begins.

Lastly…The rules which were given above were just in General. There are hundreds of names which have defied every consideration. So ultimately the choice is yours.
