Indian English boys names

[mumtolittleD]

Hi - Can anyone suggest some boys names that would be suitable ( i am indian - Hindu and my husband is English). We've got a few girls names but are really struggling with boys. Any help much appreciated!!!

I used to know a Drew and a Josh and their mother said they were Indian and English names to me. Not sure if she was right but...

Ravi/Robby
Aran/Arran
Jai

I find most Indian names can be shortened to an Anglicised version. Such as:

Krishna shortened to Kris
Shantanu shortened to Shaan (Shaun)
Siddharth shortened to Sid
Avinash shortened to Avi

[vanimal]

Or Kyan?

we used harry/hari and jay/jai as middle names for our boys, i also love rohan and arun. agree, girls names are much easier though!

[mumtolittleD]

I like Arun - think that will go on our list of boys names ( well it wil be the only one!)

[natsmum100]

Kamran/Cameron?

[foxintheslush]

Hari, Arun , Sachin, Ashok, Kiran, Jay,
What are the girls names you have btw? I am your polar opposite - really need some indian/english girls names!

I have no good suggestions but I do have a friend called Ronnie whose brother is called Reggie. His parents changed their Indian names when they moved here as babies and heard the names Ronnie and Reggie on the news...

My dd's friend is called Ibraheim which i pesonally think is a lovely name

[FlyMeToDunoon]

Have met an Ash.
What about Qassim or is that not Indian?

[yellowflowers]

Ash and Hari.

Also Robin.

[foxintheslush]

ooh natsmum I like Kamran, had no idea that it had indian origins.

Our friends named their son Hari which we thought worked really well in both cultures.
He is Sikh and his birth name is Sundeep but he prefers to be called Sunny which i think is a nice anglicised version too.
Good luck!

I love Rohan (Lord of the Rings fan), Hari and Ash. Krishnan also works well I think, with nn Krish.
