Dear Srimathi Srivatsan:

To my knowledge , there are no web sites
on VaishNavA baby names .

Some of the sources however are:

1. Selected names from Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamam
2. Selected names from Sri Lakshmi Sahasra Naamam
3. The names of the 108 dhivya dEsa EmperumAns & Piraattis.

Hello,

I am trying to pick a Vaishnava boy name for my baby son due on the 10th of April 2008. I did go though Vishnu Sahasranamam, and I found Visisht, could you please explain the meaning ? Some other names that caught my interest -

1. Sudarshan
2. Giridhar
3. Niyantha
4. Hayagreev
5. Srinidhi
6. Vishnu Srivats

Please do explain the sukshma of Niyantha, Hayagreev & Giridhar.

Also, is it a must to follow the Nakashatra naming protocol for Iyengars?

Thanks,
Deeptha Echampati

dear deeptha
I would suggest u name him Sudarshana or even Srivatsa or Srinatha. Giridhara rfers to Krishna holding the giri to save the residents of gokula. Hayagreeva refes to Vishnu as god of knowledge with athe face of a horse.If you want to name him 'visist' it is good but do name him 'vasistha' as 'visist' sound out of place and very north indian. Vasistha maharishi himself would not like 'visist'.
All the best with your child and 'ayushmanbhava' to him.

Sudarshan...such a wonderful name!

For boys I always had the following baby names in mind:
Lakshman
Bhimasena

For girls I always had:
Vaidehi
Rangadevi

I like unique names (although perhaps my boy names are not so unique)
