If baby is your bright spark, then consider the name Roshanara. With Persian roots, this unique feminine name means “Bright” or “light.” Not only is this definition sure to describe what baby is to you, but it will no doubt come to describe what little Roshanara means to all they meet. Your little light may also look up to famous namesake Roshanara Begam, a Mughal princess. Alive in the 17th century, she was a talented poet and brilliant woman. Ro, Shan, and Nara are all shining nickname choices!
