When it comes to choosing your baby's name there are certain points that you need to keep in your mind.
While choosing a name ask yourself whether that name will stand the test of time. For example, if you choose a very trendy tamil baby name, once the trend is out your baby's name also will be out of trend. Then your baby may have to explain the meaning of the name throughout his/her life. Avoid names that fall under these categories. Similarly, when you choose a classic tamil baby name, search for a more striking and meaningful name instead of boring and common names. You can also honor your family or cultural heritage by choosing a name that falls under this category. It will be unique as well as highlight your cultural roots. Do a thorough research on meanings of your chosen name so that you don't endup meanings that you don't desire.
Imagine your baby growing up as an adult with the same name. It is important that the baby carries the name happily in every stage of life. You can also ask your friends and relatives for suggestions. There is nothing wrong in taking their opinions into consideration. Always keep the middle name or the surname in mind. Make sure that the name suits both. The naming ceremony is conducted differently for each baby depending on the tradition and culture the baby is born into.
When it comes to Tamil tradition, the naming ceremony of the baby is called Namakaranam. This ceremony is carried out after 30 days(may vary from one region to another) of the baby’s birth. It is celebrated grandly. On the day of namakaranam, relatives and friends of the family gathers at the baby's house. The chosen name for the baby is written in the rice on the floor.
