Anika or Kumari for a girl

Arjun is my favorite boy name! Also love Piyush and Gautam! Gautam is a fun one if you live in the US because if people have a hard time pronouncing it you tell them it sound like Gotham! Like Gotham City!! It is one of my very very close friends names and thats what he does! lol

Umm please? While this wasn't particularly offensive, something about your demanding approach really rubbed me the wrong way. Good luck though, hope you get some good suggestions, if not, I would try the Baby Name board

I was just about to post this.

Just playing advocate here, I assumed English is not OP's first language based on how she worded this post and her intro.

I really like Pria (sp???) for a girl. Not sure about boy names...sorry.

I knew a girl named Zanib when I was little. I thought it was so pretty!

I had a few students last year whose names I loved: Chaitra, Divya, Shalini are the first to come to mind. If I remember any more, I'll pop back in

I know a Divya! Such a pretty name (and she herself is gorgeous so that helps things). I also know a Shalini, which is also a pretty name but she's not a very nice person so my association isn't very good.

I took care of a little boy once named Abi (pronounced Ah-bee). I thought it was a really cool name, although I really have no idea if it has Indian origins or not. His family was Indian, so I'm only assuming.

Are you looking for something traditional or modern? Easily translatable/relate-able to Americans or "I don't care"?

Personally, if I weren't such a Whitey McWhiteperson, I'd be all over some of the names from the Mahabharata/Ramayana. But Arjuna McFlannery (not my actual last time) seems a little off.

I made a post on the names board asking for Indian names and people have given some great suggestions there.

Priya Please

One of my faves is Lavan for a boy, pronounced "Lovin", purely because I think it sounds fun. Except my associations are negative because he isn't a very nice person.

Madhavi (female). I know a wonderfully smart, strong, and lovely woman by this name, and I've heard many people compliment her on it.

That's such a shame! My Shalini was brilliant, strong and empathetic. It was amazing to see in a 16 year old.

@thelittlestbee do you think Annika is an Indian name? Not that it really matters. I'm seriously considering it for my daughter. I always thought it was danish/sweedish

I really like Somaya, Soraya and Vayda for girls. I have no boy name suggestions.

Thanks all

I knew a lovely girl by the name of Sangita. I think that name is beautiful. I also like Ashna.

For boys I like Ahmad (ah-Maude), maybe only because I have a really good friend with this name and he's pretty awesome.

Bednarova · January 2015

one of my very favorite people is named Srinivas (male).

His brother is Murali. I also know a Chandu (chin-du) and a Himanshu (he went by Heman)

Then I have a friend named Anuja, and she's pretty cool too.

Some friends of mine who are Indian have three children named
Zohara (girl)
Zuwena (girl)
Nasir (boy)

But I'm pretty sure that Zohara is Hebrew and Zuwena is Swahili. Not sure about Nasir. Don't know if any of those are your style but they are a beautiful family. I served with them as missionaries so while they were from India, they traveled all around--hence the eclectic names I think.
