When to Perform?

The Namakarana ceremony is typically performed eleven days after the birth of the baby. It is considered auspicious to conduct the ritual in the morning.

 

According to the Grihyasutras, a baby’s name should meet five key criteria. The chosen name reflects the family's culture, religion, and education, and it should also bring good fortune.
1.The baby’s name should be easy to pronounce and pleasant to hear.
2. The name must follow a specific number of syllables and vowels.
3. The name should clearly indicate the baby’s gender.
4. It should be associated with wealth, fame, or power.
5. The name should reflect the family’s caste or background.
With hundreds of gods and goddesses in Hinduism, names derived from mythology provide a wide range of options for boys and girls. Every name has a meaningful definition, such as Atul, meaning “incomparable,” Abhay, meaning “fearless,” or Nityanand, meaning “eternal happiness.” Selecting a Hindu name can be a complex task. Traditionally, friends and family gather for the namkaran ceremony. However, in modern times, while the ceremony is still performed, people often choose names that are easier to pronounce internationally, especially when children or families live abroad. Though traditions are respected, the names are kept simpler to suit contemporary settings.
