Kamala (kah-MAHL-uh)
Ramya (Rah-MIE-uh)
Jyotsna (not sure)
Mohini (MOE-hee-nee)
Amala (ah-MAHL-uh)
Amrita (am-REE-tuh)
Kiran (not sure)
Venkat (ven-KAT)
Anshul (an-SHOOL)
Krishna (KRIHSH-nuh)
Rohan (ROE-han)
Neerav (NEE-rav)
I like Amala, Ramya, Amrita, Krishna, and Rohan. I like this sound of Mohini if that is correct.
I'm not sure if it is Indian; BtN lists it as Spanish, but the two girls I've known with it are Hindu -- I think Rubina is really, really pretty. I also like Anuja, Parvati, Gita, Indira, Neela/Nila, Padma, Sunita and Sunitha.

Kamala - kah-MAH-lah. It's pleasant, it's kind of boring.
Ramya - RAHM-ya - This is neat.
Jyotsna - whoa, snot. Yots-nah is how I would think to say it, which makes it REALLY like Snot. It looks cool though.
Mohini - mo HEE nee - I love this.
Amala - ah-MAH-lah - more boring than Kamala, but better because it doesn't have a K.
Amrita - am REE tah. Makes me think of amirite, which Janine and I say to each other on the internet with fair frequency. Anyway it's cool.
Kiran - Keer-an. Gross and made-up/trendy sounding.
Venkat - VEN-k(schwa)t. I know a Venkat actually, and I didn't like him very much, so I don't like his name.
Anshul - An-shull. An shell. I don't really like it, it sounds cramped.
Krishna - Kreesh-na. Krishna Krishna! This reminds me of George Harrison a lot and is somewhat akin to naming your kid Jesus or Shiloh in my mind. It's cool sounding though.
Rohan - ROE han. This is a neopets character. And it's okay, it sounds really trendy and all, but I like the RO part.
Neerav - Near-ahv. This is really cool.
I've always liked Jaswinder. I'm not quite sure how it's pronounced though.
eta: i didn't take meanings into account, oops!

Kamala - ka-MALA
Ramya -RAM-YA
Jyotsna -yot-sna
Mohini - Mo-heen-ee
Amala - am-aa-la
Amrita - am-reet-a
Kiran - kiran (I've seen this more on girls)
Venkat ven-kat
Anshul - an-shull
Krishna - Krish-nah
Rohan ro-hawn
Neerav - near-av (the most common spelling in my area is Nirav)
My faves are Priya, Lalita, Anisa, Raj, Nirav and Neha. I live in a very South Asian community so I have friends who bear these names, and I think they are lovely :)
