Rahul becomes રાહુલ — spell, write and own your name in Gujarati.

Names transliterate by ear: break yours into sounds, match each to Gujarati letters — રવિ (Ravi), લક્ષ્મી (Lakshmi), કિરણ (Kiran) show the pattern. Say it slow, write it true — સ્પેલિંગ (spelling) by sound, not by English letters.
Foreign sounds borrow dotted letters: જ for azure-sounds, ફ for phone (ફોન), ઓ for coffee (કોફી). These spotted letters are Gujarati citizens now — use them proudly for every imported sound.
Introductions pair speech and script: ઓળખાણ (introduction) — મારું નામ (my name is), spoken, then written. નામનાં બોર્ડ (name boards) on doors and desks teach daily — read every board, collect every name.
Nicknames warm everything: હુલામણું નામ (nickname) — બાબો (dear child), સોનું (golden one), ઢીંગલી (little doll). Gujarati shortens with love: Ravi becomes રવિ, Lakshmi becomes લચુ. Earn a Gujarati nickname and you have arrived.
