Half Indian/half English boys name

[Luckyelephant1]

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.

I also like Jay/ Jai !

Love the name Yash as well

There’s also the name Samir, which could be Sam as a NN. Samir is used in other cultures as well but in Sanskrit it means gentle breeze apparently

Aryan is cute.

We know an Aryan half English half Indian and I think it’s lovely

Salam?

Weird auto correct, that should have read Aslan.

Aaron x

Danyal
Aran
Aayan
Dillon

What about Aran?

Gabriel

It works for us.

Always liked Ezra

My lovely friend has a boy called Parkhar

I know lots of couples who are Indian/English - they have sons called:
Max (3)
Sasha
Rohan
Zachariah (Muslim Indian)
Kinnar
Freddie
Aaron
Cailan

The three I know are Kiran, Rohan and Dilan, so maybe something ending in 'an'!

I absolutely love the name Ash! Does it have to be short for an Indian name or could it be an Indian shortening for an English name? Asher is lovely.

I love the name Hari

Samir is nice.

I’m indian/English and quite old. Back in the day I don’t think couples focussed to much on trying to represent all their cultures.

I was given a old fashioned (but now fashionable) name based on a famous (now dead) Indian actress.

My DS well we just tried to give him a name that could be pronounced in both English and his dad’s language (not an Indian language). Quite a boring ‘80s name 🤣🤣🤣 but it filled the criteria.

Pranav. Great name

Remembered some others! Dilan Gabriel Raphael Luca

I have a friend called Ravi - always really loved the name.

I really like Aran
Probably for the best you can't use Rohan, there's a lot of Roman, Rowan.... type names around the last couple of years. Both top 100 and still rising up.

Mine all have second names that are Indian. Hari and Arun are both names that will only present as Indian when they are written down of course but sound English otherwise. As mixed race myself, years ago, as I child I didn't want to 'seem different' so wouldn't then have wanted a name that seemed so. Thankfully times have changed so that my DC are proud of their heritage but still may not have wanted their Indian names to be their first names as they themselves don't look obviously Indian so I think they like them as their middle names.

Another suggestion for Dylan. Or Ariyen.

I also know an Ahren (may not be spelt correctly), but pronounced Air-ren (I think this is also how Aaron is pronounced)
