Help- need baby boy name for half Indian, half English baby

38 replies

Gilby · 09/06/2009 17:46

Now just 5 days to due date and unable to agree on decent baby boy name for a half Indian, half English baby (easier if it ends up being a girl then, eh?). Don't want one which is typically one or the other. Any help would be much appreciated- especially if anyone knows any recently born Indian baby boys, as they tend to be the ones with pronounceable names!

I look after a lovely little boy called Reuben as it is also Rubin, he has new baby brother called Jairaj, Jai for short.

My DH is of english/asian heritage and he is called David. I personally love Asher for a boy....

I've just had a look here and love these names

How about Hasan or Nihal? Both lovely names.

We still have our 'longlist' for DS of Indian names that 'work' for the UK,(Precious first-born etc) so transcribing it here for you
Aman Arun Arjun Amar Anish Arman Manish Samir Shiv Vikram Viren Veer Kiran Kabir Mani Manish Milan Nikhil Rohan Roshan Ravi Rajesh.

Poor 2nd born DD on the other hand, girl so lots of beautiful names one would have thought. Conv went like this:
Me She's going to be an X (pretty simple short transcultural name that was also my aunt's name)
DH I hate X reminds me of my brothers awful posh flatmate.
Above repeated daily for about 40 weeks
Week 41 (DD not deigned to appear)
Me I still like X best. What about Y?
DH I prefer Y to X
Me OK Y it is then.
Oddly it suits her perfectly now....

Sethu or Seth are quite interchangeable

TheyCallMeLofty · 14/06/2009 00:46

Asher is a lovely name

I like Milan, Dhillon, or Avi as a name
For a boy.:-)

I wanted Ravi but friends convinced me that he would get called Ravioli. Also thought of Dev, Vikram, Kiran and Krishnan.

If we had had another girl I liked Shobhana, pronounced Shovanna.

And I knew an Indian man called Ruben once too.
