namaste smt.RENukA.

I agree with the idea in your post #24 that names such as aparNA when they have a divine connection, become alright as baby names.

• But then aparNA--leafless, stands in stark contrast with latA--creeper. Of course, shivAShTakam addresses Shiva as aparNA-kalatraM--consort of aparNA.

• Same way, umA stands in contrast with nivRtti: umA--don't take up penance, nivRtti--alright if you take to penance.

• umA has an additional significance in that the term is considered to be shakti praNavam as against AUM, which is nAda brahmam. The mUla-mantra for ParvatI devI is AUM umA devyai namaH. Devotees chanting this mantra during the days of the navarAtri would get the blessings of DevI to accomplish hard tasks they desire.

• I learn that the fourth day after new moon day in the month of Ani/jyeShTha is called umA-chaturthi, which is popularly celebrated in Orissa, Jharkhand and Bengal.

• shivapurANam has umA saMhitA that adores her. I understand that there is another umA saMhitA in vAyupurANam which gives the procedure for chanting sundara kANDam
(Sundara Kandam).
