Eddy · 12th November 2008, 15:22

I like my nephews name: Swayam. It oozes self confidence.

We had a manager named Vidyut once. A teammate of his sent an email to him, blindly accepting changes proposed by Microsoft. Poor teammate nearly lost his job!!

hmmm, so that's why people send me mails addressed as idiot.

Also, if Vidyut were to travel to the US his name would not sound the same when pronounced by the americans.

My name was changed to Vidat when I reached there. Everytime I introduced myself people would ask me how to pronounce my name which was a futile attempt as they would never get it right. After that I realised if you can't beat them join them. When they would ask how my name was pronounced, I would say Vidyut and it is pronounced as idiot with a V in front.

In asian and european countries it is pronounced as Vidget (pronounced midget with a V)

Ps: after that explanation I can rest assured no one will keep their child's name Vidyut.

how abt kalpan patel or rishab patel sounds great ,any comments ?

jalsa777 · 15th November 2008, 12:12

My nephew's name: Nivaan
(i guess its hebrew, but i'll ask my cousin about origin and meaning and revert back)

NIVAAN PATEL, sounds good too.

I love my name too: Munjal (its very unique, thanks to my parents), but it wont go with your surname

Kalpan is nice, but quite common amongst Gujaratis. My cousin in Surat's name is Kalpan and he is quite popular in my circle as he is a doc !

I have a hunch that you will eventually name the little chap Swayam. And if you do, whisky is on you the next time I am in Mumbai

Definitely - even if i don't name him 'Swayam' - you would always be welcome as a fellow TBHPian brother.

Right now - I have shortlisted the following names. Unless some more suggestions pour in, it's going to be from amongst these 4.

Vedant
Nihar
Parth
Swayam

kalpeshc · 20th November 2008, 15:19

Any more suggestions? Still havent named the baby :(

Sparsh is on the table too.

ramie2400 · 20th November 2008, 15:26

Nice name(s) shortlisted

Vedant
Nihar
Parth
Swayam
Mehant Patel

kalpeshc · 8th December 2008, 12:56

After 35 days, I gave in and went ahead with my wife's first choice.

So, now we have a future T-BHP member 'Vihaan'

For those interested in the meaning, it's a sanskrit word for 'dawn'. Please do not poing out glitches in the name as I am NOT going to change it now and I have started liking it.

SRShrikanth · 8th December 2008, 13:04

Congrats Kalpesh.

A new dawn for you & Indeed a moment of delight for little Vihaan.
