Indian boys names ....HELP!

[123Pandy]

Basically ...this ☝🏽
Need some inspiration for modern sounding Indian boys names..baby due in weeks and no idea what to call him

My fav boy's name is Rohan
I also like Neel.

is Raj too dated? I knew a few of them at school which makes me think it probably is!

DH always liked Vikram.

I also like Rohan, but we have two in the family.
And Vikram also!
Great suggestions

@binkyboinky @123Pandy yeh Rohan is nice but as you’ve already seen, VERY common. Plus when combined with all the Rowan, Roman and Roans it does become very run of the mill and confusing. Roman (with an M) was the fastest rising boys name last year so it’s getting worse.

I really like Vikram, Raj and Arun

Krishna, Raman, Pratik, Jagpreet... some people I’ve known and their names I’ve liked.

No idea how up to date they are, though!

Zaarick
Zihaan
Sahaal
Charan
Varish
Josh
Kieran
Ronak
Ronav
Kabir
Shamil
Rishaal
Trishul
Nayan

Arun.

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

Nish
Om
Shay

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

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

Meant to tag you @123Pandy

I love Ravi

Shivan?

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

@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.

I love Tarun

Vinod

Bodhi
Karan

Those were my top names if we’d had a DS.

Good luck!

Isaac
Rohan
Jai
Kiaan

Joshan

Lal
