Brother for Rian

[Jazzybeats]

I have a son called Rian and looking for a name for a brother for him.

We are struggling! Not keen on anything starting with R or ending in -ian (so e.g. Kian or Roman are out). Not anything too trendy or odd in spelling, and ideally could be both British and Indian.

Can the collective wisdom of mumsnet help us?

Jai?

How do you pronounce Rian? Is it the same pronunciation as Ryan?

My immediate thought was Sonw. Sorry OP.

It’s pronounced “Ree yan” as opposed to “Rye-anne”

We like Jai a lot but we have a couple of family members with that name already 😞 but keep them coming, this is great. I also like Idris! Has anyone come across that name on an Asian baby before?

I know a little boy called Yash, which I think is a cool name!

My son went to school with a boy called Idris. It's a lovely name.

Bodhi - Bo for short
Or
Manish - Mani for short

It’s a tough brief right! We were brainstorming alternates to Jai and could only get to Jaiden...

No to Jaiden.
Yes to Idris.

Vikash is a lovely name which I think crosses cultures well

Idris is GORGEOUS 😍

Love Idris!

I really like the name Varun.

DD's best mate is 'Vinnie' for Vinod.
