Hindu/Anglo name mix - help please!

[Limpetsmum]

I'm Indian hindu, my husband is white catholic. We're expecting our forth baby.
Our eldest son is Dhillon, next is Ria (girl) and our third is Rohan (boy). Not sure what we're having next but would like some suggestions of a hindu/Anglo mix that would go with our above names.

I'm thinking for a boy;
Tarun, arjun, chetan or bodhen

For a girl;
Anya, anjali, maya or shyla

I'd really appreciate your opinions on above please and further suggestions. Thank you for any help.

I'd like to add Kiran to your boys list and say I love all your girls choices x

How about Sashan for a boy?

I was going to suggest Rohan!

Taran (with an 'a') is a Welsh name- means thunder.

For your girls options, I like Maya and Anya the most. I'm not too keen on the boys options tbh. I don't thik they flow as nicely with your DCs names. Some other suggestions:

Boys

Nathan
Krishan (nn Krish)
Jayan (nn Jay)
Reece

Girls

Amber
Saaya
Jasmine
Alina
Anni

I like Anya.

Friends who have Indian Hindu/ white English boy called him Arun.
And their girl is Ria too

I've also known Kiran as a girls name

Arun for a boy, and Tara for a girl.

I love Arun.

How about Jaina for a girl? I also like Neha.

Friend in similar situation has a daughter called Tara.

Not keen on your boys names so far.

My favourite Hindu boy's name is Nayan, and although it isn't a name you usually hear in any other culture, I think it would fit in quite well with the kinds of name that are popular now (lots of -an endings, like Nathan, Kieran etc). I think Arjun is my favourite of the names you listed.

Anjali is very pretty. I knew a girl at school called Anjana, which I also liked.

I could have written this post I love your names. My personal favorite is the unisex name Jaya (it means victory which is lovely) but also Damini Shanti and Jyoti for a girl. Am finding boys names really hard ...

Boys:
Ishan / Ishaan
Amit
Amar
Akaash
Ashwin
Sachin

Girls:
Priya
Uma
Asha

My friend's little girl was Anya, her boy was called Dru/Drew (not sure hoe it was spelt). I like both.

thanks for all your help!
Since I last logged on we came up with nathan as an option as well. We have a friend with a son called arun so reluctant to go with that.
Having re-read my post, I've gone off Chetan and bodhen too!

Finding boys names really difficult. girls names are so much easier.

Binarysolo - is Dru/Drew a Hindu name? What does it mean?
The horse has bolted - i like nayan as well thanks for suggestion. - any ideas on meaning pleasE?

My husband is against boys names beginning with a 'k' - he sees lots of kids in his line of work and has made a broad sweeping statement that he finds kids with 'k' names more difficult to deal with! Ridiculous I know! I had previously suggested kieran - but it was a 'no' purely on that reason!

My husband is also terrible at making up playground nicknames and I had also suggested sashan which he dismissed on the basis that he would be called sasha in the playground.

Any more suggestions very welcome. So far nathan, possibly new suggestion of Dru and Nayan in the running (depending on meaning)

My son indian Hindu father white spiritual mum is sachin aka sacha he loves the name suits him

Nikesh,
Anish,

Love Nayan.

I know girls all by the names you've suggested, and Anjali was the most lovely .
Minal? (Indian but not sure if Hindu)

Chetan was a naughty little sod

Love Anjali, we're the same mix (my family) and we have an Angelie and an Angalie.

Love Nayan for a boy.

I once went out with an Aneil - a fusion of Anil and Neil as he had a Hindu Indian father and a (no idea what religion if any) white British mother. He was sometimes Aneil, and sometimes just Neil for short.

I know an Aneil too!

His sister was Neha which is one of my favourite girl names. It is beautiful.

Anyone know how you would pronounce Nayan?

Is it 'nigh' (light night) '-un'
Or neigh (like a horse neigh) '-un'
Or 'nigh-an'
Or 'neigh-an'

Hope that makes sense!

I would say neigh-an, no idea if that is correct though.

Also like Kush for a boy but it breaks the no k rule

I also like Sachin/Sachan. I have known a few men named Sacha so it wouldn't bother me as a nn.
