Indian baby names

[MolGold]

Hi

I am due with baby# 1 in May, and I have NO clue as to what to name the child. I want one name each for a boy and a girl that I want to keep handy.

Could anyone who is Indian here, or of Indian origin, suggest good boy + girl names? My only prerequisite is that names should sound global and hence not be easy to twist into tease worthy ones. Also, My name starts with an A and DH's with a P. Any names with those alphabets would be an added bonus!

My favorites so far
Girl: Mmyrah, Ariana
Boy - Reyansh, Aaroh

Any help is welcome!

I use to know an Indian girl at work who's name was Sahaja, and I always loved that name. Another Indian woman that we worked with would always call her Saja for short.

For boys name I am pretty boring and always thought Arjuna is lovely.

My husband's boss is from Bangladesh and his name is Enam, which I love that name, but I think it may be of Muslim origin.
