Indian boy names

[Anonymous]

I am at a total loss for a name. Don't like the usual Neel, Rohan, Raj etc. Would like to have an easy to pronounce and intuitive to spell name. Any ideas on either names or recommendations on books/websites?

Uh, well, those names you listed are the westernized abbreviated names

I had Indian friends named Gopalakrishna and Venkatesh
Are you Indian? If so you know know some names?

Baby center india is useful. There's also been a bunch of threads on this exact topic on DCUM if you search.

I thought names were given based on some sort of feat.... i.e. Dances with Wolves.

Those are not westernized names, but a few of them, like Raj for Rajesh, are nicknames. The names you listed are south Indian names typically. guessing OP is not south Indian from her list.

Not to TJ, but what do folks think of Akash (means Sky)?

In that case, your name must be "Lame Comedienne".

Normally I would simply delete this post and I apologize to the OP for further disrupting her thread. But, I am getting really sick and tired of this antic. The first of this sort of joke about Indian names was probably made on DCUM over 10 years ago. It may have been mildly humorous at the time. When it was repeated shortly thereafter, it had lost any sense of humor. Now, after seeing these jokes hundreds of times, they are very, very, very not funny. Needless to say, they are not original. I get the sense that posters see these posts and think they can be just like the cool kids if they do it next time. So, I want to make it very clear that such posts are not funny and not appropriate.
