First there were hardly any boys in the class/school with the name Nitin. Secondly my name was grossly pronounced as Nitan!!. Now Nitin and Nitan makes hell of a difference.. Those were the days when cricket had started influencing our young minds and Dilip Vengsarkar was my favorite batsman, I too changed my name to Dilip which later was struck down by my parents. :-)<br /><br />Now with kids, my daughter is named Kaveri and son Divit. Always wanted to name daughter on a river's name. Girls should be free flowing like a river and Divit is named after his grand dad which means Amar (Immortal)<br /><br />BTW, a vamp in a TV serial was named Kaveri then. I do not watch TV so was not aware but faced a lot of opposition when naming my girl. Fortunately my wife stood by me in my moment of 'crisis'.<br /><br />There is a lot to names and it's sure not an easy task!NITYINhttp://www.himachallive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536444925084997528.post-5463687420184233572010-07-25T23:35:23.099-07:002010-07-25T23:35:23.099-07:00Of course there is much to and in a name.

The names like Nachiketa and Angad are lifted straightway from mythology- sometimes the bearer not knowing the meaning or the significance of his/her name.We play havoc with the names by adopting odd spellings in the name of well being on the suggestion of some numerologists or some other experts. Long back , Ram, Lal , Chand etc were a staple suffix to most of the names meant for a male child .Devi or Vati was invariably suffixed to the name of a girl. Our cows and oxen were named like Rato , Kajli, Banu, Kajlu , Gora etc etc.<br />A very nice write up !aarkayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04245016911166409040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536444925084997528.post-17990057245448136242010-07-25T23:27:21.339-07:002010-07-25T23:27:21.339-07:00Of course there is much to and in a name.
