The name given at the time of caste work is referred to as Gupt Naam. The name kept at the time of the Naming Ceremony is referred to as the Vyavaharik Naam and finally, the name kept on the basis of special Yagya Karma is called Yagnik naam.

• Both mother and child should be taking some precautions on the naming ceremony day so that they don't face any difficulty and the ceremony gets completed flawlessly. 

• Get the right amount of sleep beforehand as both the child and the mother need to sit at the place of havan & worship for a longer timeline. Thus, it is crucial to complete the quota of sleep to avoid any tiredness and yawning at the event. 

• Wear a comfortable dress as per the season for the ceremony. It is suggested to both child & mother so that they don't face any kind of difficulty. Both can sit comfortably and enjoy the event. 

• Take care of the baby’s milk. The child is small during the time and might feel hungry repeatedly. Not getting the food at the right time will make him irritable and lead to crying. Take special care that the child’s stomach is not empty and involved in the ceremony.
