Western name with Indian middle name - help

My husband and I are expecting baby boy in [name_u]August[/name_u] and can’t decide on a name. He is [name_f]Indian[/name_f] so we want to have an [name_f]Indian[/name_f] middle name that is relatively easy to pronounce. Here are some of the name combinations we were thinking of to give you a sense…

[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] Ramesh
[name_u]Max[/name_u] [name_m]Ishaan[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] Vishal
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] Suresh
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] Dinesh
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] Suresh
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Nikhil[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] Aayan

Our son is named [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Kumar[/name_m].

Our last name is two syllable and ends with a n.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

We think the first name is the most important, and we haven’t decided upon one. I’m not the biggest fan of [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] might be too popular, [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is often thought of as a female name, we don’t love the idea of a [name_u]Owen[/name_u] since [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] starts with an O and so on.

Thanks!

My favourite first name you have picked out is [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. It matches the style of [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] without sounding super matchy.

If you’re open to swapping around the middles, I think [name_m]Leo[/name_m] Ramesh and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] Dinesh would sound great, but the original [name_m]Leo[/name_m] Vishal sounds nice as well.

Best of luck!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] this! My favorites are [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m]! My favorite middles are [name_m]Nikhil[/name_m] and Aayan :slight_smile: Good luck!

[name_u]Max[/name_u] [name_u]Rohan[/name_u]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Rabi[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] Devendra
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] Manoj

[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] Ramesh!

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] are my favorite names on your list because I think they travel very well and tend to work better in multicultural settings. I don’t know if you thought or considered it, but my favorite [name_f]Indian[/name_f] name for boys is [name_m]Ravi[/name_m]… I think it’s just so charming and sunny!

We actually had considered [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] and [name_m]Ravi[/name_m]! Here are the initial names we were going to pick the MN from…

[name_m]Ayaan[/name_m]
[name_m]Vihaan[/name_m]
Vishal
Ramesh
[name_m]Nikhil[/name_m]
[name_m]Ishaan[/name_m]
[name_m]Naveen[/name_m]
[name_m]Samir[/name_m]
Dinesh
[name_m]Vijay[/name_m]
[name_u]Rohan[/name_u]
Mohan
Suresh
[name_u]Rishi[/name_u]
[name_u]Neil[/name_u]
[name_m]Kiran[/name_m]
[name_m]Ravi[/name_m]

Oh [name_m]Leo[/name_m] Vishal and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Nikhil[/name_m] are amazing. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] is a close third.

Middles that work well with English-

[name_m]Rahul[/name_m]
[name_u]Rohan[/name_u]
[name_f]Tarin[/name_f]
Rayhan
Siddhant
[name_m]Rajan[/name_m]
Raveesh

I like [name_m]Leo[/name_m] Vishal, [name_m]Leo[/name_m] goes well with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], and the first and middle flow well.

[name_u]Carson[/name_u] Ajay
[name_u]Reid[/name_u] [name_m]Manu[/name_m]
[name_m]Clayton[/name_m] Rajnish
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] Vivek
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] Akshay
[name_m]Colt[/name_m] Gotam
[name_u]Tate[/name_u] Harinder
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] Nitin
[name_m]Trevor[/name_m] Jayadev

I think [name_m]Leo[/name_m] Vishal sounds great. I also like [name_m]Nikhil[/name_m] as a middle.
