Personalised Namkaran book: How we chose your name

For children aged 0 to 4

Long before the ceremony, the family is trying to find the right name, and absolutely nobody agrees.

One name is too long. One belonged to a neighbour nobody liked. One is beautiful but impossible to shout across a playground. The story moves through the suggestions and the laughing and the very polite disagreement, until somebody finally says the name that makes the whole room stop talking.

This is the funniest of the Namkaran books, and the one families recognise most, because every family has had this argument.

Frequently asked questions

What is this book about?

How the name was chosen: the suggestions, the objections, the relatives with strong opinions, and the moment everyone finally agreed.

Can we put the real story in it?

Yes, and it is much better when you do. Write in the details field who suggested the name, who was against it and why you picked it, and we build the story around that.

What age is it for?

It is a keepsake for the baby, best read to them from about two. Older brothers and sisters usually enjoy it more, because they remember the arguing.

Is it a good gift from grandparents?

It works especially well from grandparents, since they are usually in the middle of the story. You can add a personal message that is printed as its own page.
