Help!! Registering birth tomorrow, but no name!

[MistletoeBUTNOwine]

DS is 12 days old, and doesn't have a proper name yet... DP is Indian I'm English, we've decided DS is to have an Indian (Hindu) name but I can't settle on any! His 'pet' name is Pip, and always will be to me but the boy needs a name!
Has to be by tomorrow as we need his birth certificate for some official documentation.
I'd like a name which is easy to spell/ pronounce as we live in the uk and may be moving to nz in the future.

So far the short list is:

Krishna
Nikhil
Sachin
Aaryan

Opinions please mners

Krishna or Sachin.

[GreenRedBlueYellowPurple]

Krishna comes from Harry Krishna, right? At least here where I live, those associations would be there. I think it's a reallycool name and this is my first preference.

Sachin I have no clue of the origin but looks and sounds nicer than the other two.

[GreenRedBlueYellowPurple]

Definitely NOT Aaryan.

[GreenRedBlueYellowPurple]

Call him Krishna!!!!

(Let us know what you decide)

:-)

[MistletoeBUTNOwine]

Why not aaryan?

[MuttonCadet]

I really like Nikhil

[Kbear]

Nikhil

Drew?

Is Krishna a unisex name? My husband's aunt is called Krishna so it's more of a female name for me (although I know it comes from Lord Krishna in Hinduism - and it's Hare Krishna, not Harry Krishna).

For me, tbh, Krishna is too much of a religious name. Aaryan is tricky because of the Aryan connotations.

But seriously, if you're registering tomorrow and don't have a clue, I'm worried you're going to regret whatever you choose.

Niven?

sachin is famous cricketer ..so would work in nz as well as they also play cricket, nikhil ok but wouldn't go for either of others ...
Pip generally nn for Philip but can be for Percy or piper or pippin too!

[MissPryde]

I was thinking the same about Aaryan - too close to Aryan for my liking.

I think Nikhil is great. But if none are a favorite, I would poke around some more name lists and see if something 'fits'. You don't want to change your mind later.

Vikram?

Maybe see if there are any nice names linked to his nakshara? Might be fun even if the names are not to your taste!

I like Krishna and Nikhil from your list.

Rohan?

DP likes Aadi...
I do too, but it makes me think of Dev's son on coronation street! Am I being silly?

[Chooster]

I like Sachin or how about Yashul. I like Yash as a nickname

[Chooster]

Aadi great tol

[LePetitPrince]

Ravi!! Totally cool.

[iwantavuvezela]

Sachin ...... Love this name ......

[NannyR]

I love Sachin and Nikhil. What about Arjun?

[AcrylicPlexiglass]

Ravi is sooo cute. Do you and dh like Ravi, mistletoe?

I have just renamed myself Kumari to fit my nakshara.:)

[AcrylicPlexiglass]

Arjun lovely too! I love Indian names.

[AcrylicPlexiglass]

Kumar is nice.

[GimmeDaBoobehz]

Ravi, Aadi or Sachin all nice. Not keen on others.
