No Child's Play: How Not To Name Your Child | Nityananda Misra | Sanskrit Hindu Names |

Richard Roe when a child is born in a family, his name is called out over and over again. A word is basically a sound. That sound is vibration and vibrations are forms of energy. That energy reverberates within the walls of your house. That energy can alter the mood of the people residing within those walls. That energy plays an important part in how we behave and act. That’s why naming a child is so important in our culture. If the residents of a house keep yelling “stupid” throughout the day, it will hamper their minds in a certain way. If we name the child “Shiva” and that name is spoken over and over again, it has a different effect on the minds of the residents. I don’t know which country you’re from, but in India, when a man dies a natural death, his family is with him, and the last words before he dies are usually the names of his children Would you like your last words to be “stupid” or “retard”?

Accuracy of names - wonder if incorrect naming might skew the child's growth. You never know how kids learn and absorb pragmatically in that age. What happens if it all falls down to getting his/her name right (and correctly understood) that triggers a chain reaction of where the child ends up. I mean, in the old days, Devratt was called Bhism after his vow, Dashanand got called Ravan due to his voice... Meghnaad too, due to the moment when he was born. Yuddhistr because his kingly father wanted him to remain balanced in battle situations (intentions) - names are certainly more important than we realise!

For most modern hindusnow, it is about exotic sounding rare name which will go well internationally too. Language and meaning is irrelevant. Any case , when one is not rooted in culture, his or her ability to comprehend the rich beauty of sanskrit words is zilch. Incidentally , on Tamil Nadu there is a trend to use either Tamil translation of sanskrit word, or pure tamil words to establish Tamil supremacy. On a different note, I won't be surprised if a post millennial generation soon asserts that choice of name must be with the nameholder and not the parents, and exercise the choice as soon as they start using mobile phone say at the age of 3 or 4, given their intelligence and techsaviness 😀
