If you are a boy and if it is up to me to name you, I am probably going to name you after Krishna Vasudev Yadav from Gokul (reference: The movie 'Oh my God!'). So your name could be Kanha, Madhav, Mohan. These are not 'cool' names, I know. So, I am probably going to compromise and call you by these names at home. If you are a girl, it is going to be trickier. Because I really want to name you after Krishna (the god, not your cousin). Perhaps I'll call you Mohini or Mohana (not 'cool', so the same compromise here as well).
Why do I want to name you after this particular god? Because he is the anchor of your mother's faith. He is my best friend in the world, my guide, the other half of my soul. I believe in god because I believe in him. And I know that even if I am not around, he is still watching over you.
I am probably going to avoid giving you names starting with A,B, Z. People whose names start with A are always the first in roll-calls, first to be called for vivas, first for any task essentially. People whose names start with X,Y,Z have the exact opposite problem. Trust me, when you consider vivas, you are better off with letters from the middle of the alphabet.
