Sad and funny point. Seriously worth considering. I would avoid Anil, Ajay, Amir, etc. Americans will never get the pronunciation right. Your boy will go through life as "AJ, Ah-MEER," etc. Never mind the Anal point above. When we went through this, I was surprised to find Neal and Jonathan on lists of Indian boys' names. Didn't seem that Indian to me, but they're out there. |

None. Just none.
I work with tons of Indian men. I really haven't run across one name that I like or translates well. Except for a couple guys who have defaulted to calling themselves Matthew. |

| NO NO NO to Anil. Too close to Anal (actually to my eyes, it reads exactly the same, wrong or right). |

| The problem with Navin is that people will never know... Is it "Na-VEEn" or "NAH-vin" etc. I like the names Arjun, Arjaan, Roshan, Akash. |

| Some names I've heard recently are Yash, Shaan or Ishaan, Rayan (Ryan), Pavan, Kiran (know a lot of these), Dev, harsh (I think they thought it sounded a little bad ass) |

This is the other assholish comment. You must have the most limited definition of what names a boy can have. You hate ALL names you've ever heard on Indian men? I kind of think you don't get a vote on this then. |

| I think Dev Patel is a cool guy so I vote for Dev or Deven. Seems like Indian version of Kevin. |
