Choosing a beautiful and meaningful baby girl name is a great pleasure for parents and this is another most important thing that can bring you and your partner close to each other when you can learn some of his likes and dislikes.

While naming our baby girl, I too faced this problem as my husband and I had different choice and passion for words. Whatever is the cause of your disagreement, here in this blog, I will share some tips that can help you to handle such a situation and come out with a word that you both will love for your baby girl. 

How to solve some of your disagreements-

Have a clear perspective: You and your partner’s likes and dislikes are very personal and it can be really difficult to accept the dismissal of your baby girl name that you had planned since your school days. If your partner rejects the name, it often means like a personal rejection, but keep in mind that your partner is not doing anything intentionally to upset you, but it has more to do with the attachment to their choice than the rejection. 

Carefully listen to your partner: While selecting an Indian baby girl names 2016 for your bundle of joy, it is very important to listen to your partner instead of arguing with him or her and trying to convince the other person about your choice, also listen to your partner. This will help to ease the tension and compromise. Avoid jumping to conclusions even if you disagree. In case you are not interested in trendy names, let your partner know about it and the reasons behind your disapproval. 

Devote some more time: In any case you are unable to choose the best Indian baby girl name from the list then stop forcing your decision on your partner. Many parents try to choose a name even before the baby is born, and your partner may not be seriously involved in it. It is better to wait for some time till the belly is bigger and shows the bump or wait till you see the baby for the first time. 

Work as a team: Carefully handle the situation as team members trying to sort the problem instead of blaming each other. If you can accept this, then it would be easier for you to work together. Try to list down the names from books or from naming websites that you both love and cross the names that you hate. This may appear a long process, but it works well. 

So, the final note is that if your partner disagrees with a baby girl name of your choice, then try to follow the above tips and see how it works wonders for both of you. .

How to Find Baby Boy Names with Meaning of Lord Shiva That Reflect Your Culture

Recently, I attended the Namkaran ceremony of one of my relatives and the thought came to my mind that how difficult it is for parents to choose a name for their newborn that could satisfy everyone. 


Most of the times it is seen that grandparents suggest names that are traditional and are based on Gods and Goddesses. Such names represent the culture and beliefs of the family and are also believed to have a positive effect on the little baby. But a common complaint about traditional names is that they are heard everywhere. 

The names may be very common and you have to choose something from the given list. My cousin brother preferred to remain traditional for his baby boy and wanted a name with meaning of Lord Shiva. So here is how we shortlisted some good names for the little one: 

The Baby Boy Theme: The first thing that we did was to choose a particular theme for instance traditional or trendy names. We decided to remain traditional and religious and this helped us to narrow down our choice. This idea can help you to agree on a theme and make it easier to select a word that everyone would love. We agreed to search a name that meant Lord Shiva. 

Seek out suggestions: Once the theme was decided upon, our next step was to ask close friends and relatives for suggestions. May people suggested names for the baby boy with meaning Lord Shiva. But we did not want to go for common names, we wanted something that was unique with the same meaning. 

Check the internet: Naming websites proved to be a great help to us. We searched for names with meaning Lord Shiva on various naming website and got a huge list of words with their meanings. We wrote down the words that were appropriate and suitable for the little baby boy. As the list became bigger we also started to strike of those words that no one agreed to. 

Easy to pronounce: Our next big step was to select those names from the list that were easy to pronounce and had a simple spelling. We always kept this in mind that the name should have a good meaning and should not be something that could be easily turned into something funny. This of course could be embarrassing for the kid when he grows up.

Thus, our final list of baby boy names with meaning Lord Shiva included names like Adyah, Dakshah, Devarshih, Girish, Kirat, Viresh, Rudra to mention a few.

I hope this blog will definitely help you to choose a baby name with great meaning that perfectly matches your little bundle of joy.
