Your favorite Indian boy names?

Name Advice
1

I’m trying to choose a new name for myself, and am having trouble choosing one that I love. I have a list already, but am wanting to look at some more options before I decide. [name_f]My[/name_f] last name is [name_m]Kumar[/name_m] and I’m wanting an [name_f]Indian[/name_f] name, since my family is from there, but that is still easy for Americans to say and spell.

I work at a preschool in an area where there’s a high Indian population, and my favorite Indian name I’ve heard that fits your wants is Kalingan. It sounds like the name Callaghan, and the kid goes by Kal

[name_f]My[/name_f] personal favourite is [name_m]Sachin[/name_m] :heart_eyes:

I love it, but one of my cousins is [name_m]Sachin[/name_m] so I can’t use it

[name_m]Arjun[/name_m] and [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] are two I really like that are easily pronounceable for Americans, and many are probably already familiar with the names as well. I also like Rishab for something less common in the US.

[name_m]Avyaan[/name_m] :two_hearts: Lends itself to [name_u]Avi[/name_u] as a nickname, but has such a polished and melodic sound. Stunning name.
