      I will ask my Guru Maharaj to give me proper name for them! That's a wonderful idea.

    Yes, it is very nice to give Them Names. If They are our personal Deities at home then we give Them Names which we like and according to our goal.

    For example, in our country to Sri Sri Gour Nitay Deities were called as Sri Sri Nitay - Gour Govinda. Or in Russia Sri Sri Doyal Nitay Sachisuta.

      That is wonderful! How should I name my deities of Sri Gopalji and Sri Jagannath Baladev Subhadra and Sri Sri Gaura Nitai?

        i do not know if some one gave other names to Lord Jagannath, Baladev Subhadra Mayi but You can give nice names to Your Gour Nitay, and to Gopalji also.

        Please go through this web site and search for suitable names learning the meanings of each: http://spiritualvedicnames.com/
