Thoughts on these Indian boy names with the last name Kumar

[name_m]Just[/name_m] wanted to know what everyone thinks of these names with my last name and the reasons why.

  • [name_u]Rohan[/name_u]

  • [name_m]Shaan[/name_m]

  • [name_u]Niam[/name_u]

  • Aiden/Aidan

  • [name_u]Jayden[/name_u]

  • Dylan/Dhilan

[name_u]Rohan[/name_u] and [name_u]Niam[/name_u] are my favourites! I think they sound cool and on-trend, and they work nicely with your last name. But I think all the names work pretty well with your last name, so I wouldn’t worry about that! As for Aiden/Jayden/Dylan, they all feel a bit dated to me, and [name_m]Shaan[/name_m] is rather nice but I could see people being a bit confused about how to pronounce it if you don’t live in [name_f]India[/name_f] / somewhere where it’s commonly used – like, is it pronounced shan, sha-ahn, maybe even shane? I wouldn’t be sure. So I like [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] and [name_u]Niam[/name_u] best, for their handsome sound and how they seem easy to wear!

I agree with @tallemaja that all the names work well with the last name.

I think my preference would be for [name_u]Rohan[/name_u], which works well in an English-speaking context but also feels a little more tied to [name_f]Indian[/name_f] culture than the others (but this may just be because know someone from [name_u]South[/name_u] [name_f]Asia[/name_f] who has this name).

Aiden/Aidan, [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] and [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] would be easy for [name_f]English[/name_f] speakers, but don’t feel especially [name_f]Indian[/name_f] to me (if that is important to you). The Dhilan spelling does, and I quite like this. I’m unfamiliar with [name_m]Shaan[/name_m] and [name_u]Niam[/name_u], but I think they would work well too.

[name_u]Rohan[/name_u] feels international, charming, warm and rugged. I like the flow with [name_m]Kumar[/name_m].

[name_u]Niam[/name_u] is interesting - distinctive but gentle. I like the softer ending of [name_u]Niam[/name_u] with the K of your surname

Dhilan / [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] have that international vibe of [name_u]Rohan[/name_u], has various nice meanings and flows well

[name_u]Aidan[/name_u] is contemporary and cool - I don’t know how you obviously [name_f]Indian[/name_f] you want it to lean, but this leans more [name_u]Irish[/name_u] / [name_f]English[/name_f] / Western to me - same with [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] - though again, both flow well.

[name_m]Shaan[/name_m] sounds sharp but rugged, warm and friendly with quiet strength. I like it with your surname

Overall, I think [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] and [name_m]Shaan[/name_m] are my faves!

I think all of them sound good with your surname, and I like them all apart from Aiden/Aidan and [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] (which feel very overdone to me). [name_f]My[/name_f] personal favourites are [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] and Dhilan!

I think [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] is lovely :slight_smile:

I think [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] [name_m]Kumar[/name_m] flows the best! [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] name :))
