Baby names for families abroad
Find names your way
Counting names…
Families in the US, UK, Canada, the Gulf, Singapore and Australia often want a name that works at school abroad and still pleases the grandparents in India. Start with the easy-to-say lists for names without sounds that English speakers trip over. Try the worldwide lists for names already familiar in English. Short names are a third route. Every name keeps its meaning, its Devanagari spelling and its nakshatra fit. Open a name for the Devanagari spelling, the Chaldean number and the pada. Share that page when the family wants to look together. These lists are tradition and reading notes, not a promise about a child.

Questions
- Which lists are linked from here?
- Only lists with enough names to stand on their own. Smaller groups stay inside a wider page.
- Where is the meaning?
- On the name page. English is under the name. Hindi, a note and other spellings sit in the Meaning section.
- Do I need a birth chart?
- No. You can browse by letter. A birth time is useful only when you want the child's own nakshatra.
