Looking for ideas for an indian name for a boy that is fairly phonetic. (Names like nikhil, Kieran, deven, Eshan are out because already used in close circle)
Also if you saw theses names how would you pronounce Ijay Kavi |

| I don't have any recs but to answer your second question, I'd pronounce Ijay like I.J. And I'd pronounce Kavi like CAH-vee if I saw them. |

Vivan
Jayant (shorten: Jay) Prashant Any name that can be shorten easily to Al, Etc I also don't see a problem with having two names (Indian first name, Americanized middle name) for ease later in life |

I know one and I always say it incorrectly. It's really not really said like it's spelled. Vijay maybe if you want something ending in "jay." |

Ijay I would expect to be pronounced Ee-jay.
Kavi I expect Cah-vee. I taught a Rishi - I think it was short for something, maybe Krishna, not sure. I thought it was a cute nickname that grew with him into middle/high school. |

Pick a name that is easily Americanizable .
Several Indian co workers did this in recent year. |

| Doesn't need to be americanizable but there are easier and harder names for Americans to pronounce . The short I in ijay they'll never get! Sorry no suggestions yet...girl names I've got plenty! |
