The names that our parents give us become our identities as we grow older – which is why all parents take the extra effort of picking a name for their child that rolls off the tongue easily and has a beautiful meaning at the same time.
While some of us have certain names in mind when the baby is yet to arrive, some other consult astrologers to understand which name suits the baby best. Most of the times, astrologers suggest the starting letter of the name that is best for the baby. So if your astrologer has suggested the letter “L”, or if you’re just browsing baby names, check out my recommendations for Hindu baby boy names that start with L.
