North Indians have that traditions too. one of my cousin wasn't named until like 2 yrs later😆Originally posted by: kshreya2002
It may sound strange...but many dont name the baby till its ready to go to school ie till its 3-5 years old depending on the country. Till then names like Raju, Baby etc suffice. I am sure many of you read the book 'Namesake' where delay in naming the child triggers a whole story of a person's existence. Some are wondering if its a South Indian tradition to name babies after a certain number of days. As far as I know most South Indians do have a tradition like that. They consult an astrologer before choosing a name. Even Bengalis are never in a hurry to select a name...and afterall the baby's paternal grandma is Bengali.
