We are expecting our second boy soon and are struggling a bit with names. We need something that can be pronounced easily by my Indian (Hindu) family and also by British people and my DH's family. My huge extended family has already used some of the obvious choices (Raj, Jay, Ravi, etc). Any views on our shortlist or alternative suggestions welcome!

Rajiv
Samir
Arjun
Ashwin

We'd also be open to short easy to pronounce non-Indian names, like Leo or Sam

Oh and Sunil which could be Sunny?

I love Arjun. Also like Amrit, Taran, Arun, Aman on the Indian side.

From an British perspective how about Rohan or Rowan which covers both quite nicely or Noah?

Congratulations!
