  • Breaking gender conventions with confident ease, this name choice signals progressive thinking and willingness to challenge traditional boundaries. While often associated with feminine usage, its adoption for boys represents evolving perspectives on gender and naming practices. The name carries spiritual and cultural depth, particularly within Hindu traditions, adding layers of meaning for families who value those connections. Its brevity and sharp sound give it masculine energy regardless of its typical gender associations. Parents choosing this path are typically confident individualists who prioritize personal meaning over social convention. The name requires a certain boldness to bestow, as it will prompt questions and possibly assumptions, but that very quality may appeal to families who want their son to grow up questioning norms and thinking independently about identity and expression.
