Half Indian/half English boys name

Not sure what we having yet but trying to think of names already. We have quite a few potential girls names lined up that fit the bill of sounding both Indian and/or English but boys names are so much harder.

I quite like the nn Ash but can't think what I'd like the full name to be! I don't love Ashwin and that's about all I can think of.

Also not Raj or Hari. I love Rohan but that's already a name in my close family so can't use it.

Weird auto correct, that should have read Aslan.

We know an Aryan half English half Indian and I think it’s lovely

Aryan is cute.

There’s also the name Samir, which could be Sam as a NN. Samir is used in other cultures as well but in Sanskrit it means gentle breeze apparently

meera454 · 18/12/2020 20:50

Love the name Yash as well

Ashok with the nickname Ash? (I know Ashok is quite old school, but I still think it's very cool.)

Arun is the only name I can think that truly crosses both cultures.
