Do you think 'Harsh' or 'Ashit' will be teased in school? For new Indian parents in the US, naming is a whole new game. Bloggermoms list of top baby Indian names is a list of traditional Indian names that work well in a multicultural environment.

(I-Newswire) December 14, 2009 - Bloggermoms, a website that celebrates life and parenting at the intersection of multiple cultures, today released a list of top Indian baby names for the US . The list is a resource for those looking for baby names with Indian origin. While Deven, Ishaan and Neil feature in the list of baby names for boys, the list of baby names for girls includes Anya, Anjali and Arushi.

According to the American Community Survey of the U.S. Census Bureau, the Asian Indian population in the United States has a growth rate of 53% and is among the fastest growing ethnic groups in the United States.

For new Indian parents in the United States, choosing a baby name poses new challenges. They have to make sure that American tongues will be kind to the name and that the name will work in a multi cultural environment.

Indian baby names are traditionally chosen based on their meaning, astrological recommendations or recommendations from priests on what the first alphabet of the name should be. The most popular names tended to be drawn from soaps, movies stars or cricketers.

But while a Harsh or Ashit are beautiful names and work well in India, they may assume completely different meanings with new accents and new cultures.

The list is meant to be a resource for Indian parents looking for an Indian name that works in a more multicultural context. The list is based on the United States Social Security Administrations’ list for most popular baby names in the decade as well as trends in the Indian American community.

The list covers both Indian baby names for boys and Indian baby names for girls and is available at http://bloggermoms.com/newblog/?p=3277
