Follow your family traditions
If your family names babies by rashi or nakshatra, start from the rashi list for your baby's birth sound.

Questions parents ask
How many baby boy names are on BabyBoyNames.in?

What are root-based names?
They are names formed the traditional way, by joining two positive Sanskrit, Arabic or Punjabi words. For example Gyan (knowledge) + esh (lord) makes Gyanesh, “lord of knowledge”. Some are already in use, and some are rare or new, which is great if you want a unique name.
