Other Christian boy names, common in Indian families

Thomas
A twin, the apostle whose doubt became the world's most honest prayer — Thomas refused to believe in the Resurrection until he could touch the wounds himself, and when Jesus appeared he fell to his knees with the greatest confession in the gospels: My Lord and my God. His name honours the integrity of honest doubt and the deeper faith that emerges when scepticism meets undeniable evidence
Xavier
The new house, the Basque castle from which a saint launched a mission to the ends of the earth — Saint Francis Xavier sailed from Portugal to Goa, Japan, and the edge of China, becoming the greatest Christian missionary since Paul. In Goa his name is revered above almost all others, and the Basilica of Bom Jesus holds his remains
Antony
Tamil Catholic form of Anthony — Antony names a child after St. Anthony of Padua, beloved patron of the lost (lost objects, lost causes). The Tamil Catholic Antony cult traces to Portuguese missionary influence and remains widely popular.
Geevarghese
George (Malayalam-Syriac form) — Geevarghese (Malayalam ഗീവർഗീസ്) is the Kerala Syriac-Christian form of the name George, descended through Syriac (Aramaic) liturgy from Greek Geōrgios ('farmer').

Elijah
My God is Yahweh, the fiery prophet who rode a chariot to heaven — Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, called fire from the sky, and was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind without dying.

Theodore
Gift of God, heaven's offering to the mortal world — Theodore reverses the syllables of Dorothy to create the same meaning from a masculine angle: God gives.

Jack
God is gracious, by way of Jankin, a medieval English pet form of John (from Hebrew Yohanan, 'Yahweh is gracious'). Once a familiar nickname, it long ago outgrew that role to stand on its own and has repeatedly topped boys' name charts across Britain.
