Baby names

by AnjaliR
01:00pm - 22nd November, 2005


Does anyone have ideas for Indian baby names (boys and girls)? I'm looking for Indian names which are not common. Has anyone you know named their child and you've thought 'wow that's a nice name?'. Any ideas would be welcome.

Aarav - means a peaceful man.

if reincarnation takes place, i'd like that to be my 2nd name.

First name being Lucifer or something to that effect ;)

i think Akshay and Twinkle's son is called that.

sandy v,

Talena is Eastern European in origin. The first use of the name I have seen was in the 1700's in Holland and Germany. It was sometimes used with another 'e'. (ie. Taleena)
But it sounds very south asian as well i guess!
