How is a Hindu baby name given?
When it comes to naming a Hindu baby, parents often consult with family and friends to find the perfect name. There are many factors to consider when choosing a name, such as the child’s astrological chart, the meaning of the name, and the family’s tradition. Once a name is chosen, the parents may consult with a priest to see if the name is auspicious for the child.
