Fake Names VIII
An astrologer with more than a quarter million Instagram followers recently published a reel that had nearly 10 million views. The reel was titled “Baby Names on Ma Lakshmi”. No language was given and no source was cited for the names. Three out of five names were wrong and one of the meanings of the two correct names was wrong.
Beware of Instagram reels that fool you with fake names and concocted meanings. Always insist on a source the name and the meaning.
To choose an authentic name of Lakshmi for your baby, refer to the Apte Sanskrit dictionary, the Lakṣmī-sahasranāma published by Gita Press, or my book Sunama-Sarit, which has 431 names of Lakshmi and 10,000 names in all.
