  4. Thanks for very good and unique names along with their actual meaning, quite detailed. Choosing child name these days is really a challenging 🙂

    1. Most of the name provided here actually has no meaning or false meaning a per the sanskrit dictionary. Name like aarav, ayaan are very common these days but has totally opposite meaning in देवनागरी vyakran. Even some of the name has no meaning. Like aarav means cry in sanskrit. U can even find it in authentic sanskrit dictionary. Do not bluntly follow these meaningless name and these sites.
