A pleasure I wasn't lucky to have - having a daughter.
I have 2 sons & while I love them to bits, I have always yearned for a daughter.
Our 1st kid was born 8 years into our marriage. By that time, we had given up hope & we were looking at adoption options. And then we got lucky - we are going to be parents. Name searching was first on the to-do list.
I was convinced it will be a girl. So I didn't think up any boy names (my wife did - it's not without reason we say that women are smarter).
My name choices were the girls that influenced me in my life. Actually that's bullcrap. I just listed out the names of the girls I had a crush on. :-)
So Sangeeta (my very very super senior in Ahmedabad), Ritu (my senior at Assam), Madhumita (my classmate at Assam), Rachel (my classmate at Kerala) all figured in the list of probable names.
And then the first kid was born - a boy. Wifey promptly named him Aman - she is a Shahrukh fan & that's the name he used in some movie.
We aren't even thinking of a 2nd kid, but 4 years later, again we get lucky. I dust up Sangeeta, Ritu, Madhumita etc, but wifey looks up boy names.
Another boy. He is promptly named Ishaan - a Shahrukh movie name ? Don't know.
Anyway by this time we are too old to bring up a 3rd kid. So my dream of having a girl kid ends there.
Those of you who have a girl, you guys are lucky. A girl is a treasure - cherish her like one. 👍
