Times Now has published a list of 50 baby names described as whimsical without being too unusual. The list draws from Celtic, French, and Sanskrit origins, including names like Elodie (French), Tara (Sanskrit for star), Vihaan (Sanskrit for dawn), and Diya (Sanskrit for lamp). Other names span floral picks like Iris and Poppy, celestial choices like Luna and Orion, and Indian classics such as Meera, Anaya, and Arnav.
The article notes that whimsical names should not need constant explanation. It suggests choosing a name that sounds right when said aloud a few times. The list aims to balance uniqueness with familiarity, offering names that are distinctive yet easy for others to recognise and pronounce.
Indian parents are flooded with name lists that either push hyper-traditional choices or trendy Western ones. This list at least gives equal space to Sanskrit and Indian names like Vihaan, Diya, Kabir, and Naina alongside French and Celtic picks. The real test is whether a name works in a multilingual household and with grandparents. Before you pick, say it aloud in your mother tongue and English. If it sounds natural in both, you have found the one.
