Imagine if humans didn’t have names. What an utter chaos it would have been! Names define a person. Names define a persona or personality. When I say, “Neha,” you might think of that girl in your school back in the day. Her personality, the way she spoke or behaved, etc. When I say, “that girl in your graduation class who lost her glasses in the canteen,” would you even remember? All that I’m saying is that to name a child is a ceremonious event in a parent’s life. Children only realize it much later, when they start making friends and attending school. In our previous blog, we shared a list of baby boy names starting with Aa. In this particular blog, we thought to share a list of 100 modern Hindu baby boy names in 2021 and 2022 starting with A up until Z.
