We had to choose between Vijay, Sakar, Gautam and Anish. Vijay and Gautam were my favorites and Sakar and Anish were my wife's. I liked the meaning of Anish (supreme or lord Vishnu). It also has a greek meaning. So we decided to name our son Anish. We chose this name not because it starts with A, instead because it is easy to pronounce, it has a good meaning and our daughter's name is Anusha which sounds similar to Anish. We named our daughter Anusha because it was the nakshatra (star) at the time of her birth. Plus she was born in the morning and Anusha also means beautiful morning.

What is up wiht all the J's and b's etc in american culture??? If there is a reason (I don't think specifically with A other than personal heritage and culture (such as the all american name John). Would be curious to hear... Also other names to help in the consideration.. http://www.nriol.com/babynames/index.asp Suzie www.performers-world.com suzie@performers-world.com Well to comment first, Class rosters go by last name not first names, Second it seems a little strange that you are catigorizing “Indian people” as naming with an A than most others.

And you can't choose your surname, so choosing a name for their baby Russian parents don't have to think about its first letter. My conclusion: hey, everybody! Come to us, come to Russia! =))) Also I want to say that we don’t have such a problem here in Russia, ’cause a class list is made here according to family names (surnames), not first names.

I've really enjoyed them! :D I agree that parents are free to give a baby the name they like. And maybe meaning isn't the most important reason they should consider choosing the name (actually, almost all the names have beautiful or at least interesting meanings), but the name mustn't be difficult to pronounce by all means! I'm sure that our name can influence our fates - not 'cause there's any mysterious power in names. I have some model stories to illustrate my point of view. Once upon a time =) there lived a boy. He was a son of a Russian man and an Italian woman. His mother was given a favor: she was allowed to name her son as she wanted. And she gave him a beautiful name Rodrigo. But she didn't take into account that they lived in Russia where there are patronymic names and that her husband's name was Piotr. So, the baby became Rodrigo Petrovich - an awfully ugly and inappropriate name. The contrast between ancient foreign name and common, simple Russian patronymic name made him ridiculous. His classmates laughed at him. He felt miserable. The same story happened to Akaky Akakievich. (Doesn’t the name seem funny to you, foreigners? =) It does to me. I’m Russian.) Another story. Jevlampy Vladimirovich Jeniseev is a very difficult name to pronounce for Russians. A Russian couple gave such a name to their son. They thought it was unusual and outstanding. Jevlampy was a laughing-stock of the whole school. That’s why he decided to keep his mind sternly fixed on a studious career and not to pay any attention to his classmates. Then he became an outstanding scientist who studied... ants. =) A happy end? Oh, no, unfortunately! He was very unhappy all his life. He didn’t know anything in the world besides his beloved ants. He never married. He was an unsociable melancholic. And maybe everything would have happened another way if his parents had given him a usual Russian name, something like Sergey or Kolya... I’m sorry if I’ve made any mistakes in this post. The main thought is: don’t make your children unhappy by your desire to be uncommon! Just choose the names that sound beautiful and are pronounced easily - and be happy! =D Great thanks to Raj Coimbatore and IamKams for their posts! I’ve really enjoyed them! :D
