Akaash is a really nice name

I love Sunil, Shoab and Anis.
Sunil was bright and cheery soul, Shoab was full of fun and Anis was a wonderful carer.

I like Sendhil and Utkarsh. No idea if they're fashionable or not. But they sound really elegant and not over-popular.

I also loved Sunil - could be Sunny for short which is lovely. Again, no idea if it's modern or really cheesy and old fashioned.

@BBCK we are Hindu..so most names that have suggested are perfect!

@Whatsyourflava good to know, I just assume that it's as common as Aryan was a few years ago.

Shivan?

(Disclaimer: I know diddly squat about Indian names but heard this one recently and thought it was lovely)

WhatTheFuckSusan · 17/04/2020 22:53

I love Ravi

Whatsyourflava · 17/04/2020 22:49

Meant to tag you @123Pandy

Whatsyourflava · 17/04/2020 22:49

Arun isn’t common at all- it’s outside the top 1000 names (yes one thousand!!). Aaron is outside the top 100 names now too. Very underused

BBCK · 17/04/2020 22:14

Most of the suggested names are Hindu, but some are Sikh. What is the cultural/religious us background?

winterisstillcoming · 17/04/2020 22:13

Nish
Om
Shay

Would you guys say Arun very common nowadays. I.e 2 per class? Just curious as it comes up a lot. Do like the name though
