For the uninitiated, the actress got married to a banker Saurabh Devendra Singh in December 2016 after dating him for almost 10 years and this is their first baby. Speaking of Miraan being their final decision, Saumya, in a statement to Hindustan Times, said, "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."

Talking about the naming contest she held on social media, the actress said, "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?'" Well, to the woman who suggested the final name, Saumya has planned to send a personalised gift.
