Not Indian here. Speaking as an outsider with a random taste. Discard the culturally bad suggestions.

Do you have the tradition of picking a name by the time?
Ie: once the birth time is established, you get a few letters and then pick a name that starts with one of the three letters? |

The names posted so far are good and more commonly heard in the US because of the generation of people here. Mostly 30s-50s, those names are common to that generation.
Here’s what Google tells me are the top 50 popular in India for boys today. 1. Aakav (shape) 2. Aakesh (Lord of the sky) 3. Aarav (peaceful) 4. Advik (unique) 5. Chaitanya (cognisance) 6. Chandran (moon) 7. Darsh (sight) 8. Darpan (mirror) 9. Ekansh (whole) 10. Evak (equal) 11. Girik (Lord Shiva) 12. Hredhaan (one with a great heart) 13. Hemang (one with a shining body) 14. Inesh (strong king) 15. Ishaan (Lord Shiva) 16. Jairaj (victorious ruler) 17. Jihan (the universe) 18. Lekh (document) 19. Lohit (made of copper) 20. Manbir (brave from heart) 21. Mayan (god of love) 22. Meet (friend, love) 23. Nishit (midnight) 24. Nihal (joyous or successful) 25. Onkar (the purest one) 26. Onveer (brave) 27. Oviyan (artist) 28. Parijat (celestial fire) 29. Pranjal (honest) 30. Pranit (leader) 31. Rayaan (gates of heaven) 32. Ronit (embellishment) 33. Reyansh (ray of light) 34. Samaksh (presence) 35. Samesh (equality) 36. Sanket (signal) 37. Sanat (Lord Brahma) 38. Tuhin (snow) 39. Tejas (brilliant) 40. Trijal (Lord Shiva) 41. Umang (enthusiasm) 42. Udarsh (brimming) 43. Viraj (resplendent) 44. Vaidik (spritual) 45.

| I’ve seen quite a few little Aryavs, Aariks, and Sahils. You can always go for a simple classic like Rohan, Rahul, or Neel. It’s highly likely a non-Indian will have seen these before. Kind of depends on what you’re going for. |
