A name gives a stand to a person - it is what a person is known by. A name can speak about the nationality of a person; can portray the person’s region and culture. It can also hold the family history of a person, their father’s name, grandfather’s name as well as the religion they follow. According to the Indian tradition, the name of a person can read out the details of a person. Therefore, parents need to be very careful while choosing a name for their baby.
