Baby boy name suggestion

swathi33 · Oct 3, 2010

Hello All,

We are expecting our first baby, a boy in this month. We have been searching for good names from few months. At first we wanted to a have a unique name but our parents and friends did not like what we found. What is the point in having a unique name that doesn't even appeal to our own people? So now we want to go with a meaningful, easy-to-pronounce, simple-but-not-very-common name. We shortlisted the following names. We would really appreciate if you could let us know the name you like. You can suggest a new name too.

Nihal
Pravar
Vihaan
Kritish
Dhruv
Nischal
Praketh

Appreciate your help.

hi swathi,
i like Vihaan name from your list. vihaan means "the first ray of sun. its easy to pronounce for americans. its unique name and i love it.

one of my frnd's son's name is Dhruv. people(americans) are calling him "druv".

i read some interesting news about the name of Vihaan:
Numerological Meaning (For Entertainment Purposes Only)
People with this name tend to be natural leaders, self-sufficient, and ambitious. They generally want to make their own decisions in life and are not afraid to take charge or manage a situation. It is important for them to avoid extremes of bossiness or shyness. They tend to be too impulsive. Professionally, they can be successful in political leadership, celebrity status, or as a small business owner.

-goodluck

Is it Vihaan or Vivaan. Vivaan means full moon I think.

Thank you all very much for your responses.

We are still waiting for the delivery.. expecting it anytime in this week.

We are now down to two choices - Nihal and Vihaan. Looks like most likely we will go with Nihal.

Nihal - Happy, blissful person; Content
Vihaan - First ray of sun; Dawn

Thanks again everyone.
