After which character in MB would you name your kid?
Karan, Arjun,Devrath,Nakul,Sahadev are the most common names that I have heard.

No one name this child as draupadi or panchali. They think if they name their kids like that then that child will have to go through suffering like druapsdi so that's why the parents doesn't name their child as draupadi. I don't think anyone ever named their child as draupadi

Since my childhood I loved the name Arjun for some unjustified reason...
May be because as a kid I always had fascination towards him.
I have a friend who is named as jishnu all the while he thought he was name after Lord Vishnu and recently he realised he was named after mighty Dhananjaya...
And Draupadi my krishu di (a memeber on this forum) is an example...
I have one of my lecturer named Parasati...

Arjuna is a very used and common name -- so that is why i would go with Partha, Dhananjay, keerti(for a girl), Vibhatsu is very rare but i like that ... and then Vijaya
And afer krishna -- here are so many of his names both for boys and girls
Ananta, Krishna, Abhayasrya,Adhiyajna,Ajaya, Aditya, Ajitya, Amar, kapil, keshav,Madhav, Mayur, Sarthy,Sarvajna,sreshth,shyam, siddhanth


Akshara, Amrita, Aparajita,Dravina, jayanta, kalki, mayura,niranjana,sakshi, Sumedha, Karshni

If I ever had a daughter (It's a long time to go I am only 20 now 😆) I would love to name her Draupadi, Panchali, Krishnaa or from any other name of Draupadi. I mean to say forget the humiliation she went through but she had beauty and virtues she was clam, ferocious, focused, intelligent.
It's really sad that people don't name their daughters by Draupadi's name because she suffered a alot we must look on the good side not the bad one.
