Indian Middle Name for Felix?

Boy Names
1

Hubby and I are just throwing around ideas for our baby boy, and one of the few names he hasn’t poopoo’d is [name_m]Felix[/name_m]. I’m American and dh is from [name_f]India[/name_f] ([name_u]West[/name_u] Bengal) so if we use [name_m]Felix[/name_m], we would want to go with a Hindi/Bengali middle name, which baby may end up being called by my in-laws or using on visits to [name_f]India[/name_f]. Last name is [name_f]Mitra[/name_f].

We don’t love any of the popular [name_f]Indian[/name_f] names thrown around online, so haven’t really found a good one (not a fan of [name_m]Ashwin[/name_m], [name_m]Arjun[/name_m], [name_u]Jai[/name_u], or [name_m]Nikhil[/name_m], which I see suggested everywhere). I like [name_m]Vihaan[/name_m] or [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] but dh isn’t a fan.

Since it’ll be a middle, wearability in the US isn’t a huge concern and we could go for a longer/less popular name. It would be awesome to find one with a nice meaning, since that’s one of the things that drew us to [name_m]Felix[/name_m]. Ideas?

How about…
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Vikram[/name_m] (means ‘valorous’)
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] Akash (means ‘open space, sky’)
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] Ashish (means ‘blessing’)
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Ayan[/name_u] (means ‘solar path’)
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] Manish (means ‘wisdom’)

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] is a great name. There are so many beautiful [name_f]Indian[/name_f], and specifically Bengali names—I don’t know where to begin, but this list might be helpful to you:

I like the idea of Anand since that has a similar meaning to Felix!

I love the flow of [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Vikram[/name_m] but the Bikram Yoga guy ruined the name for me :joy:.

If you like [name_m]Vihaan[/name_m], how about [name_m]Vivaan[/name_m]? It’s one of my favourite Hindi names, and I think it really complements [name_m]Felix[/name_m] both with the funky, spiky sounds and the wonderful meaning: [name_m]Felix[/name_m] (happy, lucky) + [name_m]Vivaan[/name_m] (full of life).

I thought about that, but to me [name_m]Vivaan[/name_m] sounds too similar to [name_u]Vivian[/name_u].

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] Pranay
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] Siva
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Kiran[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Anand[/name_m] (there is one who works at my office—I thought it sounded so nice out loud!)
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Dev[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Jyoti[/name_u]
