Anglo/Indian (Hindu) Baby boy names help please!!

[camembertlovernomore]

I am white British and my DH is Indian Hindu - we are due our little one end of March and have tons of girls names which are a good hybrid of both cultures but none for boys! Anyone got any ideas? I quite like Kiran but I know a girl I work with who is called that so it's put me off a bit! Im not a huge fan of Raj or Vikram's and would ideally like a nice Indian name which can be easy to pronounce and doesn't sound too Indian if you know what I mean! I am 31 weeks pregnant so need to get a wiggle on a bit now TIA

I have two sets of Hindu friends. First couple have a little boy called Jaidev. Pronounced Jay-dev. Nn. Jay.

And the other couple have a little boy called Aryan. Pronounced ar-ee-an.
Both lovely names.

DS has a friend called Vikas which I always think is a cute name.

Kamran (boy or girl)
Ava (girl)
Avi (boy)
Amey/Ameya

Trick is to get a name kids won't spoil by getting a western nickname. Nothings worse that giving your kid a greatly researched name that nobody can pronouce, so they end up calling themselves Bob etc. Not that there's anything wrong with Bob lol.

Simran/Simi

I know a Neel, a Dillan and an Arun all of which I think well in both cultures.

Jay works too.

I know a beautiful little boy called Ash his parent are BBI x

Ekram

Hirem
Jai

Jaspal
Kalkin
Kamod

( I googled Hindu boys names, some nice ones)

What about Kamran?

Manas is nice for a boy.

My friend's boys are called Nayan and Arjun, which I think are lovely names.

Harun, known as Harry.

Hari
Aris
Amar
Ajay

Aryan
Aaran / Arun
Devon
Ash i agree is very cute

Harrison (Harri / Hari)

And Rohan, I keep remembering more (teacher).

I also know female kirans!

Rohan (v Lord of the rings)
Hari (bit like Welsh spelling of Harry)
Ashwin shorten to ash
Sunandan shorten to sunny
I also like Ravi, not particularly Anglo just like it!

Hari/.Harry (a bit unimaginitive) Rahul a bit like Raoul.

Samir? Sam or sammy for short

Daniel/danyaal

I dated someone with the the same background as your child and his parents had fused 'Anil' and Neil' to make 'Aneil'. He was Neil at uni, but Aneil at home. If you don't like that particular combination, are there any other similar names you could combine?

Thank you for all the great suggestions Love Ashwin, Arun and Samir will speak to DH and see what he thinks. Thank you all for you help
