Ashwin and Ariston
Ashwin sort of just came to mind the other day and though I've never actually heard of it it seems there is a background http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/ashwin and now I'm kind of loving it. WDYT?Also how do you like Ariston?

Ashwin- I've never heard of it either. It could grow on me, but also sounds like Ashley, which was popular not that long ago.Ariston sounds like someone wanted to name their son after Arista Records.

Ashwin seems like two words smushed together.I like Ariston, but actually prefer Aristos what with –ton names being so trendy.

Ashwin just sounds like Ashlyn spoken by a small child that can't say l's yet.Ariston sounds vaguely industrial or chemical.

Interesting...The sound of Ashwin is throwing me a bit because I'm hearing "Schwinn", the bicycle brand, and I'm seeing circling spokes. I generally like "-win" names and the meanings associated with this are appealing. I think I could warm to it.Does "Ar" of Ariston rhyme with "air" or "car" (I'm stressing the first syllable as with Aniston)? Sound-wise I think I prefer "air". Visually, it reminds me of "aristocrat".ETA: I just finished your "Ten Names" a few minutes ago and it was a fun list. Two other people also had Isra on their lists but I didn't come up with a combo I really liked until I was inspired by the meanings of your other names, so thanks. :)
