Who says we have to be so serious and formal and academic all the time? 🤷🏽

Hey! Could you help me find some more masculine names? (I'm genderfluid and I was born female so I have a feminine name currently, but I'd like to have a name to use on more masculine days.) All I know so far is that I want it to start with H or Ha and I want it to sound vaguely Indian but not too Indian. Also if you could find some that are sort of fantasy sounding that would be great! (Sorry if this is a lot.)

I wasn’t able to find many, but here are some ideas:

Hari

Harin

Haraka

Haren

Hansa

Heli

Heti

Hala

Hira

Does anyone have good sources on Indian full names and namibg conventions?

I spent an hour looking myself but i had a hard time concentrating on the words and understanding them proper, and i dont know what i should focus on researching because i found sources that listed like 5 things Surnames could come from

The name i have so far is

Pradeep Chandra Ballariker

Pradeep - Light, Lantern

Chandra - Bright as the Moon

Ballari - city in Karnataka, and 'Ker' is a suffix used in Surnames, to denote where his family comes from

I have no idea if it's proper or not and i dont know where to look

What is the correct way to pronounce Baljeet's name in Phineas and Ferb? The various characters on the show all pronounce it different ways so I'm not sure what the right way is. Some say "bal-jzeet", some say "ball-jzeet", some say "bal-gee-t", etc. Is one of these pronunciations better than another?

Thanks

A rose by any other name

Remember the adage, A rose by any other name would smell as sweet? Yes, it is from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. What he meant was a name is not all that important. Well, it may work for roses, but when it comes to human beings the rules are different. Photo by Jan van der Wolf on Pexels.com In India, as in most of Asia, our names have a special significance. You can usually divide…
