What's in a name ?

We were expecting our second child and were in the process of finding a suitable name. We requested Kushaal who was then 4 1/2 years old to suggest a few names. He suggested "Jason", "Mathew" and a few others. We told him that these were Christian names and we wanted a Hindu name. When he asked "What is a Hindu name ? " ,  to keep it simple we told him that anyone who prays Lord Ganapathi is a Hindu. Names like "Aryan", "Manav" etc are Hindu names. So he quickly said, let's keep the baby's name Jason and make the baby pray Ganapathi and the name would become a hindu name. (lol)
