My son is one year old now and our naming conventions

I want to admit and confess that my children names should have been according to our traditional system which I do respect and practice even in these modern days unless I believe in astrology and naming according to the birth star

My daughter (6 year old) name should have been 'DURGA' instead of Khyati (famous) as per my father name Durga Prasad and my wife's ancestral deity Durga Bhavani in their home town

My son (1 year old) name should have been 'KRISHNA' instead of Jaykar (victorious) as per my mother name Krishna Kumari and the deity my wife worshiped for getting a son, Sri Krishna of Dwaraka that my parents visited and given an idol of Vatapatra Sai

Here there is another twist here as this name is a combination of our names Jaya & Sankar and it would have been 'SANJAY' if we reverse the order and better name I thought of, if astral belief didn't come into picture

Also the naming should be keeping their future in mind and thinking of next generation (20 years ahead) as I saw quite a few people in our relation changed their wifes names after or at the time of marriage to be more modern and simple names

Also I am against two names concept (to fulfill the wishes of both husband and wife) in which one will be female in a men's name like vidya in my name or durga in my fathers and vice versa like krishna in my mothers so to overcome this better to have one only
