I have nothing against the post#2 and #3. But they are old fashioned ones. Moreover they are Sanskritized names. People nowadays prefer modern names.
You could have googled for it.

Dear Prasad ji,

Arent almost 99% of Hindu names Sanskrit names?

I am sure all of us Forum members are having Sanskrit names.

Also there is not really any modern or old fashioned names...all names denote a meaning.

May be some names might sound a bit more"traditional" sounding at the most.
 
One of my friends, an Iyengar, whose daughter married an Iyer boy,named his grandson as 'ANUSH'. When I asked the meaning, he said it is from Anusham Star, which is the birth star of Kanchi Seer. Nowadays, there is no logic in naming the child.

That's William Shakespeare has said

By any other name would smell as sweet.”[/h]

HI

ammavasya is very common name in many interior tamil nadu villages....i know some person in a small village....which is very common

for NB's....
 
here in USA, I met a girl named ASHANTI (She is African American). Indian names have meaning, and people are proud of it. But that is not true in other cultures. A name is HANDLE for a person, it may not have deeper meaning.

I would not think anybody in North India would name their child ASHANTI.

The meaning of the name “Ashanti” is: “African tribe name”.
Categories: African American Names
Used in: English speaking countries
Gender: Girl Names
Origins: African
Starts with: A



Pronunciation: (uh SHAN tee)
Form of: Itself (Ashanti)

Do names matter?
To a remarkable degree, they do. Though we don't choose them, our names are badges bearing information about our class, education level, and ethnic origin — or at least those of our parents. Scientific studies have shown that the world makes different assumptions about a boy named Tyrone than it does about one named Philip, and while those assumptions are often wrong, they can have a considerable influence on the course of a life. A name can even exert unconscious influence over a person's own choices. Some scientific researchers contend that there are disproportionately large numbers of dentists named Dennis and lawyers named Lauren, and that it's not purely an accident that Dr. Douglas Hart of Scarsdale, N.Y., chose cardiology or that the Greathouse family of West Virginia runs a real-estate firm. To some degree, this has always been true: The Romans had the expression nomen est omen, or "name is destiny."

[FONT=&quot]What is in a name?[/FONT][FONT=&quot]No doubt I will be reminded of the saying that a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet. Is there any connection between a name and the person or thing named after it? Do names have any significance at all? And what qualifies as a Christian name? Going by the literal meaning of their names I must ask if Sridevi is a goddess, Kishore Kumar ever young, or Meena Kumari ever virgin?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Here is a last salvo before I get real serious. What would you call cattle excreta – cow dung or bullshit? They mean the same but their connotations and applications are different. So we see that besides religion, there is a lot more that goes into a name – language, culture, convenience, circumstances, connotations and identity.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]There is also a flip side. Do parents have an unfettered right to name their children as they please? Dalits earlier gave their children derogatory names like Gobaru and Dukhi. Remember Kachra from the movie Lagaan?

But I want to go with the logic and good names too. Although the links I have been given are good but too confusing. There are many names but the pronounciation of the names is very important.
