- Nyomica Hooda — Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram’s daughter, born March 10, 2026; chosen by Randeep’s sister and described as divine grace and freedom.
- Vira and Mahi Ranjan Seal — Aditya Seal and Anushka Ranjan’s twin daughters, born August 23, 2026; Vira suggests bravery, Mahi earth or greatness.

What the naming wave reveals
Across the list, one pattern is clear: Bollywood parents are treating a name as a public statement of values. Some go spiritual with Sanskrit and Vedic roots, while others layer in a grandmother’s name, a father’s surname or a sibling’s meaning.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s pairing of Dua and Devi is the clearest example—prayer and goddess sitting side by side. Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja did something similar with Rudralokh and Vayu, connecting life force and transformation.
The trend is not bound to one language. Keanu, Oscar, Alexander and Saraayah show that families are comfortable drawing from Hawaiian, Irish, Greek and Hebrew traditions, often in the same announcement. For fans, these names are a small window into what a family believes, values and hopes for.
