Help with Hindu -ish boys names for DC2

36 replies

DP is hindu and I am not. Not usually a problem, however DP would like dc2 to have a Hindu name. If only we could agree on one Grin

We need a boys name for DC2 that is either Hindu in origin, or is Hindu but not so much so, if that makes sense. It's a difficult balance that we achieved with DS but at that time we only had 1 boys name we could agree on. My current preferences are Issac and Noah, but they're being completely vetoed by DP who is failing to come up with anything better!

To complicate matters, we have a lovely long surname which is a bugger to spell and pronounce Grin (but putting it on here would really out me!)

Fingers crossed we have a girl, as we have loads of pretty Hindu girls names Grin

Any ideas?!

(Kail, pronounced like 'Kyle'.)

I have a relative called Kailash- it gets shortened to Kail. I like Jai or Dillon, though. :)

Also I know an Indian boy called Alekshander (Alek for short).

Robindra - shortened to Robin
Harvinder - shortened to Harvey
Manendra - shortened to Manny
Harinder - shortened to Harry

Apparently Neil means "blue" if that's any good?

Hari? A nice name in both cultures.

Thanks, I like both of those, however Arun is v similar to DS's name... Rohan has come up before actually.

It's in the maybe pile!
