Help with Names

Always_Alone

Oh wise and knowledgeable MSEers please help!!

I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant with ds2 and completely and utterly stuck on names!! I am from an indian (Hindu) background and OH is British White.

Whilst I am not particularly religious, i would like our babies to have a 'nod' to my backround without the name being too obscure and difficult to pronounce.

I have been trawling the internet and books etc for weeks and drawn a complete blank, therefore, I am hoping you fabulous people may have some suggestions for boys names?

Please please please spam me with names!!

Thanking you in advance!

Are you looking for boy or girl? Indian friends of mine have a daughter called Zara which is a recognised name in the UK as well.

Was in a similar position myself, I'm white British and other half is Pakistani. We wanted names that would be recognized by both families. We chose Adam and Sarah(can also be spelt Sara, Saira). I also loved Daniel but decided to save this in case we had another boy.

There are lots of newer names now. How about Mikhail, Rose, Winter, Summer etc.

What are your 10 top ones at the minute?
