Indian baby names

[Venkat]

I am interested in collecting and creating a web site for Indian baby names. I want to give importance to Tamil names. If you have any names, please share it here. I will collate them and publish.

Take a look at the "South Indian Tamil name for a baby" thread. You'll find it here:

Actually I came across a nice site in Google. They seem to have a good collection of thooya Tamil names. You can check it at http://www.anbutamil.com . I am trying to get in touch with the operators of that site to see if I can collaborate with them.

Plum David Boon was a reference to GM dialaak in Jaihind. oru constAble David , Boon, Anthony, Richard ippidi pEr vechchukkAma...innum Govindsamy, Kuppusamy -nu village level-layE irukkEngaLE ya

Neither GM (nor me) mention it in the religious context. ippo dhaan Joe eppidi Bala madha saNdaiyai varAma irukkura maathiirukkalAmnu ezhudhinAr. solli mudikkalai, I am posting something seemingly contentious.

Seriously, the issue that GM (and I) are referring to is the urge to be urban. In my family some cousin of mine or the other has been having kids every year for the past few years now. They have stopped asking my suggestion because they are too "karnAtakam".

இதுல அமெரிக்க வாழ் இந்தொயர்களுக்கு பெயர் ஈரசைச்சீராக இருக்க வேண்டும் என்று நிபந்தனை வேறு.

PR, eerasaicheer-na enna?
(digression-la digression - when i was in school, searchign for the lost house key outside the house and was accosted by a approx 3 years neighbouring kid "Anna, enna thedureenga". "saavi pa". The kid said "Saavina enna?" - unga nilamai ipdi thaan irukko ippa?

eerasai seer kinda means two syllables word.
attempted humour - as it is term used exclusively in poetry

Fearing American mauling many Indians have opted for short quick names. enakku passport-la pEr ezudhura idathula PTO ellAm varum.

indu idukku sandhu bondhula suththuradhai vida enna vElai.

Quite seriously, some of the names have simply gone out of circulation in the last few years. I feel that sense of loss quite heavily.

If this thread doesn't limit itself to tamizh names alone, I feel saddened when I find

Bhargavi (I simply AM HEAD OVER HEELS in love with this particular name 'Bhargavi' ) bhageerathi , Meenakshi , and Vishalam totally MISSING (those are just few I could recollect) The impact for bhargavi, meenakshi and vishalam is much more than others.

I love many of patti's gen or koLLu patti gen names. (It stops with female names, as I aint too fond of ramasamy or raman or even few tamilised version of any sanskrit MEN names )

Prabhu Ram, the salient point is that even Ramesh, Suresh are not fashionable any more. That is what I meant by this too shall pass.
Neenga solra maadhiri, adutha level of fashion can only be David, Boon, Bill, Clinton....

Ok ok ipdi two syllables-nu thamizhleye sonna nanna puriyaradhu

I was going to ask elders like you

Some examples:

I don't think I have seen an ArAvamudhan or a Vatsala (two of my favourite names) for any kid.
