Me n my wife did this the day after we got to know that we were expecting our first baby... And the next day was spent aaraaichifying all name databases. I was hinged on naming our first child after Lord Shiva if it were a son and after Goddess Parvati if it were a daughter. And that narrowed down the choice heavily. Also, I was adamant that the name that we chose should not get truncated in anyway. Like, if we chose Ramachandran, it gets truncated to Ram or Rama or something like that and the whole never rarely gets called. So - short, sweet and indivisible was the rule that I was opting for. Finally decided on naming a girl as Gauri and a boy as Akshay. Eventually, you can call it divine intervention too... Sep 7th 2005 - Ganesha Chaturthi day - Gauri entered our lives. Now, Gauri and Ganesha Chaturthi.. do you see a correlation there? :-) 6 months old now, you bet - life could not have been better despite the sleepless nights and endless wails... :-)Rubic_Cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868973433008409936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1141154829496782272006-02-28T14:27:00.000-05:002006-02-28T14:27:00.000-05:00subha - he did, absolutely!
