The arrival of a new member into the family is always a cause for celebration. As parents, it is one of the most joyous moments of your life when you welcome your baby into this world. Choosing the perfect name for your newborn is a crucial part of this ceremony. While it sounds like an exciting thing to do, coming up with the right name can get a little tricky for some of us. And rightfully so. A name is an integral part of one’s identity, and you don’t want to mess it up for your kid by naming them something that they would grow up to dislike. If you are as completely clueless as the rest of us, choosing a meaningful name could be the best thing to do. And who does it better than our celebrities? Below we have listed our pick of the latest celebrity baby names with their meanings for you to choose from.

The couple was blessed with a little girl on 11 January 2021 and soon announced their baby to the world as Vamika. In a post shared by the actress, Anushka wrote how the little one had taken their lives to a whole new level. It’s interesting to note that the duo decided to choose a name that had the initials of both their names in it and had a beautiful meaning. Vamika means goddess Durga.
