Hate Vivan. It presents as "Vivian" which is a girls name.

Yeah watch out for this. I have a friend who is named Emilie but people process it as Emile all the time, and expect her to be male. I think she was even out on a boys soccer team once as a kid. I think Vivan would run into the same problem.

Ok, how about Rishab, Salil, mihir, Samir, Geeth, Gian/Gyan

Anything that is shortened to "Ro"

I don't know why but I love the name Ro- sounds short, sweet, strong, cool, etc.

I always liked Vijay and Ajay, because they sound like V.J. and A.J.

Actually they don't if you pronounce them correctly. That's why I'd never use them.

Agreed. Vijay is not pronounced Vee-jay, it's Vih-jai. Ajay is not Ay-jay, it's uh-jay.

Dev or Raj. I feel like every Indian guy I know is Ravi or Vijay so those are played out for me personally (like I matter). I knew a Vivek once - that's a nice name.

Indian-American here, married to a Jewish guy who only wanted names that were pronounceable. We settled on a name we both like, but other names I love are:

Kavi
Nevin
Naveen
Kaveen
Akshay
Aakash

I've heard the name Shaan recently and really like it.

Original poster here, thanks everyone for the recs and comments! Kavi is also on the top of our list - but
we would want to prounce it Kah-vee, which is how it would most likely be assumed to be pronounced in the US; however is the correct pronounciation be kuh-vee? I have seen/heard it both ways. Is this one that is acceptable either way?
