We are really having a difficult time to find a boy name that works in both cultures in [name_f]India[/name_f] and USA. We would prefer an [name_f]Indian[/name_f] origin name but even an western name that has a international sound to it would be considered.
I really like [name_f]Indian[/name_f] names and I feel like they do tend to work well in the US (although I am in [name_f]Canada[/name_f]). [name_f]Indian[/name_f] names tend to be phonetically simple or can be shortened to easy nicknames. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have a list you are considering?
The only ones from the list are [name_u]Deven[/name_u] and [name_u]Rohan[/name_u], all the other names have been used by close friends and family members.
Any other suggestions, doesn’t have to be indian name but exotic english names.
Some Hindi names that might work, most of which are short and fairly easy to say/spell:
[name_m]Varun[/name_m]
[name_m]Ravi[/name_m]
[name_u]Neel[/name_u]
[name_m]Adil[/name_m]
[name_m]Dev[/name_m]
Dinesh
Kavi
[name_m]Navin[/name_m]
[name_m]Nikhil[/name_m]
[name_m]Raj[/name_m]
Shiv
Suresh
[name_u]Rohan[/name_u] is my favorite [name_f]Indian[/name_f] name, I’ve always said had I been born [name_f]Indian[/name_f] that would be my first sons name . I have also always really liked [name_m]Zaid[/name_m] ( my #2 [name_f]Indian[/name_f] name) and an old friend once showed up somewhere with his nephew and introduced him ( his name being [name_m]Zaid[/name_m]) I was hilariously excited!! Because I mean of all the names right, but anyway those are my suggestions.
[name_f]Niam[/name_f] I also really like from your list, I almost never hear that but it has a modern and exotic flair that would be very good in both country’s.
[name_f]Niam[/name_f]
[name_u]Rohan[/name_u]
[name_u]Neil[/name_u]
[name_m]Sahir[/name_m]
Arav
[name_m]Aditya[/name_m]
…Exotic sounding names in English…I can throw out a bunch of names inspired by your list above. Maybe one or two will be helpful
Thank you all for the great suggestions and links. Yes we do like [name_u]Rohan[/name_u], but maybe overthinking and trying to find another name just for the heck of it. [name_f]Niam[/name_f] is also in our shortlist as it is unique but almost gives you a familiarity when you hear the name. It mean contribution of god.
