Names of baby boys and girls: Are you soon expecting your newborn, or you are a new parent? Then selecting a name for your child will be at the top of your mind. All parents want to select a beautiful name that they hope will encompass their child's personality. In Indian culture, a child naming ceremony also holds supreme significance. So how does one go about selecting a name for their child? Parents usually settle on a letter that they want their child's name to start with it. At times, it matches the first letter of either of the parents' names and sometimes there's no connection - it might be simply a favourite letter of the parent or probably an astrologer or priest's suggestion.
