Indian Boy Names

What are your favourite Indian boy names? Preferably names that could be used in North America/western culture without too much confusion.

TIA!

I agree but at the same time, idk...culture and religion go through changes each generation and what about global culture? Pushing ourselves closer to a common ground.

Also, not all children want to carry on the culture/religion of their parents. When choosing a name you're only choosing what you want to call them, not what kind of person they will be.

My boyfriend is Indian but he is, as he says, very "white-washed." He doesn't even really like Indian names - he has a Hebrew name and no one in his immediate family has an Indian name - but we are having a really hard time agreeing on a name, so I'm just trying to look at all options, as we only have 8 weeks left to decide.

aw, well good luck :) I know it was hell for us to pick a name for our son that we could agree on. We actually weren't 100% sure what his name would be until right after he was born. When I was too tired to care anymore :P

Here are some Indian names, since I was having too much fun having a discussion and not helping!

Anand
Jeevan
Naveen
Pavan
Rakesh
