Counting names…
Shiva, in the old sense, is the auspicious one, the kind one a house can turn to without fear. Names that mean him often speak of that gentleness, not only of ash and the third eye. Bhavesh means lord of the world, a name of Shiva. Girish means lord of the mountain, also a name of Shiva. Ishaan means the north-east, another name of Shiva. Gauri means the fair one, a name of Parvati, so the girl is linked through the pair. Use these when the idea itself matters to you: kindness, the mountain, the quiet direction of worship. A heavy name helps nobody if the child cannot spell it.
