Saumya names her son Miraan

Saumya Tandon delivered a baby boy on January 14 and with many wishes pouring in for her son, there were many fans who suggested names for the newborn as well.

Soon, it turned into a “contest of sorts” on her social media platforms. Explaining the same, Saumya says, “Honestly, I didn’t think of having a contest on social media but it so happened that when my son was born, my husband and I were not prepared for the delivery. After a check-up, the doctor said that I had to be admitted immediately. Later, when I shared the news about the birth of my baby, everyone was asking about the name. And my reply was, ‘why don’t you suggest a name?’”

She noted down the names she liked and kept screenshots of handles of fans. After shortlisting 10-15 names, they finally chose Miraan. She says, “Though, the name suggested by a lady from Singapore was Miran, it was a girl’s name so I added an extra ‘a’ to it. It’s a Persian word and means king of kings. Finally, we registered the name as Miraan Tandon Singh. Many suggested Shaurya as well which is a combination of my name and my husband’s name Saurabh. But I wanted a unique name so Miraan it is.”

Saumya plans to send a personalised gift to the woman who suggested the final name.
