Sadly Vijay isn't the nice neutral name it was when most of us were growing up. Not since vajayjay entered the lexicon.

I like I lot of the other suggested names. I'll add Rakesh.

Agree, and also, people are confused about how it's pronounced.

I almost picked Rohan. Kiran is good too. There's also Akash (or Aakash). Rahul maybe?

We just named our baby boy Ishaan. I think it sounds so nice, plus no one seems to have trouble saying it.

We are looking for an Indian/Sanskrit boy name that works well in the US. My husband and I both have difficult to spell and pronounce names, and are trying to avoid this for our child. Any suggestions on names that would work well? So far we like Anil and Navin.
