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.

Was just coming to suggest Rohan!

Ash is really nice on its own.

What about Arijit, Rohit, Arun, Arvin, Armaan, Neil, Saahil, Tarun...

@meera454 @Trailing1 all lovely names but still a bit too... indian (BTW I'm the Indian one out of me and my husband so I can say that 😂)

Kallum is interesting!

I really liked Kiran/Kieran but husband isn't overly keen on that.
