Choosing a name

huldaashok · Oct 6, 2005

Hi,

I am going to have my second child in January, 2006. We have not yet found the sex of a baby. I already have a 6 yrs old son by name Ashwin. I have already shortlisted some names for a baby girl starting with letter "A".

I need some suggestions regarding names for baby boy starting with letter "A" and should also ryme a little bit with Ashwin and should not be very complicated to be pronounced by foreigners as we are living in Sydney.

Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Hulda

Thanks to Everyone

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions. Some of my friend's kids already have names like "Aashish, Akash, etc. So I don't want repetition in my friends group.

"Avinash" suggested by Rohini was one of my earlier choices. This name sounds nice and the meaning (indestructible) is also good. So I might shortlist this name.

Thanks,
Hulda
