We get excited when we know that our family is going to expand with a pair of feet. There are many things we start dreaming about. When the gender is revealed, the first thing we start thinking about is the name of the baby. Name dignifies the character which we love to possess by our little ones.


The great revolutionary Tamil poet and a linguist - Bharathiyar said, “Yaam arintha mozhikalile Tamil mozhiyai pol inithavathu engum kaanom” which means “Among all the languages I know, I have never seen one that is as sweet as Tamil”. Naming your child in such an eminent language is pride.
