Before you were born—before we ever saw your face or held your tiny fingers—we were already dreaming about you. We talked about you, imagined your laughter filling our home, and wondered what kind of person you would grow into. And somewhere in all those dreams was a very important question: What would we call you?
Finding your name became a journey of love, opinions, laughter, togetherness and fights. It wasn’t just your mom and dad thinking about it—our entire family joined in. Everyone had ideas, suggestions, and hopes wrapped into beautiful names, and each one carried so much affection for you.
We started long before your arrival. Names were discussed over phone calls, messages, and family conversations. Some names felt strong, some gentle, some modern, and some deeply rooted in tradition. Each suggestion came with a story, a meaning, or simply the joy of imagining you growing into it.
When you were finally born, our hearts felt fuller than we ever thought possible. And with your arrival came clarity. According to your date of birth your Rashi is Kumbh (Aquarius) just like your Dadi and Giju Dada. That gave our search a beautiful direction, grounding our emotions in tradition and meaning.
Your dad and I had one name we really loved from the start—Shivarth. It felt powerful and spiritual, filled with devotion and depth. But we also wanted to pause, listen, and truly feel what name belonged to you.
That’s when all the family suggestions came together like pieces of a puzzle. Ronak Chachu and Hasti Chachi lovingly suggested Shaurya, a name full of courage and strength. Akshat Mamu suggested Shay, simple, modern, and full of warmth. Dadu, Dadi, Motamummy and Motapappa wanted your dad and I to make the final call. And then your Kavya Mimi suggested Sharva. The moment we heard Sharva, something just clicked.
We repeated it softly. We imagined calling you by that name. We pictured you growing into it—kind, strong, calm, and confident. And most importantly, we loved what it stood for. Sharva is a Sanskrit name meaning “the destroyer,” often referring to Lord Shiva, symbolizing the destruction of evil, sins, and miseries, or signifying completeness/perfection, and also associated with Lord Krishna, representing “everything” or “the entire”.
We wanted your name to be meaningful, rooted in faith, yet timeless. A name that carried blessings, strength, and love—something you could grow into while still being entirely your own person. So after all the discussions, suggestions, and moments of reflection, we knew. Sharva was your name.
It came from family, from tradition, from love, and from our hearts. One day, when you read this, we hope you feel how deeply wanted you were, how thoughtfully you were named, and how many people surrounded you with love even before you took your first breath. Your name is a reminder that you are never alone—you are carried by faith, family, and endless love.
