Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, one of Bollywood’s most adored couples, recently welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on September 8. As the new parents bask in the joy of parenthood, fans and well-wishers have been eagerly waiting to know what the couple will name their daughter. The Bollywood fraternity and fans alike are flooding social media with congratulatory messages and name suggestions for the little one.
Bollywood’s Baby Naming Trends: A Mix of Traditions and Modernity
Bollywood couples often set trends, and baby names are no exception. A popular naming pattern that some Bollywood stars have followed is combining the names of both parents to create a unique name for their child. For instance, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli named their daughter Vamika, derived from Virat’s “Va” and Anushka’s “Ka,” a name that also signifies Goddess Durga. Similarly, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan named their sons Taimur and Jeh, picking names that reflect strong cultural meanings and roots.
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor took a slightly different route. They named their daughter Raha, which holds meanings in different languages: “Divine Path” in Hindi, “Peace” in Arabic, and “Comfort” in Bengali. This name, though not directly derived from their names, subtly incorporates Ranbir’s initial “R,” and was thoughtfully chosen by Ranbir’s mother, Neetu Kapoor.
Will Deepika and Ranveer Follow the Trend or Choose Something Unique?
As fans brainstorm names for Deepika and Ranveer’s baby girl, many wonder if the couple will combine their own names—Deepika’s “Deep” and Ranveer’s “Veer”—to create something special for their daughter, similar to what other Bollywood couples have done. The “DeepVeer” hashtag, which fans use to refer to the couple, shows how easily their names blend together.
However, Deepika and Ranveer might opt for a name that’s completely different and meaningful, breaking the trend of simply merging parents’ names. Ranveer, in a past interaction, suggested the name “Shauryaveer Singh,” showcasing his preference for names with a powerful, heroic feel. Although this name is more suited for a boy, it indicates the kind of impactful and culturally rich names Ranveer likes.
Bollywood Celebrities Naming Their Kids After Gods
Another popular trend among Bollywood celebrities is naming their children after gods and goddesses. Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover named their daughter Devi, reflecting a spiritual connection and honoring Goddess Durga. Similarly, Vamika, the name chosen by Anushka and Virat, also signifies Goddess Durga, adding a divine touch to the name.
Given these patterns, Deepika and Ranveer might also look towards mythology or spirituality for inspiration. With names like Devi, Vamika, and Raha setting the trend, fans are curious if Deepika and Ranveer will choose a name with a divine or spiritual essence.
Fans Eagerly Await Deepika and Ranveer’s Decision
While the official name announcement is yet to come, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh will follow the Bollywood baby-naming trends or set a new one altogether. Whether they opt for a name that combines their identities, a unique and meaningful name, or one inspired by spirituality, it’s certain that whatever they choose will reflect their personalities and the love they share for their new bundle of joy.
