I’m looking for suggestions for a name for our baby boy due later this year. Hubby is from [name_f]India[/name_f] and I am Australian. The name needs to be an [name_f]Indian[/name_f] name, but at the time I don’t want anything “too Indian” so that it will be hard for people to pronounce (we live in Australia), or a name people have never heard of, or could easily be made fun of (e.g. Hardik).
So far we have a few ideas but not “the one”.
[name_m]Arjun[/name_m]
[name_m]Ashwin[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivaan[/name_m]
[name_m]Kabir[/name_m]
Kian/Kiaan
[name_u]Rayan[/name_u]
[name_u]Rohan[/name_u]
I’ve also seen people use [name_u]Ryan[/name_u], [name_u]Noah[/name_u] and [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] for [name_f]Indian[/name_f] boys but not sure if these are truly “Indian names” or just popular among Indians living in western countries. Hubby’s suggestions are frustrating me as he suggests names like Chandraprakash which to me are way too long and unnecessarily complicated - and don’t work with our daughter’s name (Alisha). I also want to make sure we pick a name that sounds good on an adult, not just a baby/toddler.
I’ve looked through numerous lists but still am having trouble finding a name I love and it’s stressing me out! I find Indian/Hindu girls names soooo much easier and already had several I really liked, the boys names are tricky. [name_f]My[/name_f] name choices tend to be a bit more traditional and ‘safe’, which doesnt help matters (if picking a western name for him I’d probably pick a name like [name_u]Oliver[/name_u], [name_u]James[/name_u] or Ethan).
