Notes:
- Some families prefer names tied to specific Tirthankaras (e.g., Ajitnath, Shantinath, Sumedh) or to general Jain virtues (purity, wisdom, peace).
- In Digambar and Shwetambar traditions, many of these names are common, but there can be minor variations in pronunciation or spelling.
- If you want, I can tailor suggestions to syllable count, traditions (Digambar vs. Shwetambar), or starting letters.
