You didn't mention if the baby will be a boy or a girl. Or where you live (India or the US or somewhere else?)

In either case, I would not use Aryan. Sounds like Adolph Hitler and the "aryan" race.

If a girl, I would not use Rubin, since Ruben is a boys' name in English. Also, Sidh because its sounds like Sid, a boys name in English.

If a boy, I would not use Karan, because it looks like Karen, which is a girls name in English. I would also not use Samay, because it sounds a bit feminine.

I guess my vote would be Sidh or Rubin for a boy, and Samay or Karan for a girl.

We immigrated from India years ago and have now made US our home. Our daughter's name is Sana and we would like to have a traditional Indian name for our son (expecting) as well. At the same time, we don't want the name to sound complicated or hard to pronounce. Please pick your best choice ... I would really appreciate your help! Thank You!!
