I have been finding lot of new names for the new born kids in Telugu families these days!! Everyone wants to give their kid a unique name. Unique is what important. Don't care if it does not really have a meaning at all. After all, who wants a meaning to a name? The usual Telugu names are no more accepted. They are old fashioned, not trendy. I don't think any one named (at least I do not know any!!) their baby boys Ramu, Raju or even Srinivas and baby girls Sujatha, Janaki or even Annapuna these days.
I know, the above names are for sure old fashioned. But are we coining some new words, in order to give a unique name to our kids? Do we really have to import them from the North or from other languages so that they sound new and are unique? I wouldn't be surprised if someone names his/her kid Romanov or Sharapova.. soon.
I really want to give some examples here, but do not want to hurt any one reading this blog (if at all someone reads :-) !!). My only request to the parents is, give unique/trendy names to your kids, but do not name them with something that does not have a meaning at all. Just because someone wrote on a web site that, this unique name means this particular God, please do not believe unless you get it clarified from some one really knowledgeable. If someone ever asks your kid, whats the meaning of your name, I wish they should not be embarrassed..!!
