Naamkaran - the naming ceremony in India is an important one for all hindu children. The larger family gathers up along with a pundit at an auspicious date & time. Following a small havan, the father & mother whisper the name in the baby's ear. Don't think we will be doing all of that elaborate ceremony in the sandlands.
For deciding your name, we called the pundit in India & told him the date & time of birth. He figured the nakshatra - the birth star for you as Shatabisha and according to that the hindi letters for the name were Go, Sa, Si, Su. We have been thinking so far of names starting from A or K - much of our favourites started from these letters.
Kimaya - meaning divine, was a favourite of Nanay & Mom. Anya was a brilliant one suggested by Nitin Uncle. Ayanna was another one of Mommy's choice. Came across Samya on the interent and all of us instantly loved it.
Samya meaning exalted, noble minded - has arabic origins. Suits well, since your place of birth is Dubai.
