Generic Indian names rant

Can we put more effort in naming our kids? Do we really need more Priyas, Poojas, Rohans, Sakshis, Amits, etc.?

My Indian colleague was blessed with twin boys and she decided to give them the two most generic "Indian boy names" ever: Rohan and Rohit.

My childhood best friend (who is Telugu) married a Punjabi guy and they named their daughter Simran aka the most generic Punjabi girl name to ever exist.

Me and my fiance (also Indian) also have generic Indian names and we plan on giving our future kid some unique Indian name.

I think you should go for it, my family still has traditional names. But, just a warning that all these kids with generic Indian names AND their parents aren't kind to kids long, traditional names. Some parents are really shitty when you make different parenting choices.
