Starting with Chh (छ) (These are Sanskrit/Jain-appropriate names; usage can vary by community.)
- Chhedan – cutting off; in a spiritual sense, cutting karmas/bondage.
- Chhayan / Chhayank – shade, protection; giver of shelter.
- Chhavin – beauty, good impression, noble presence.
- Chhedanratna – jewel of “cutting off” karmas; a more traditional-style name.
(Names with “Chh” are fewer; many Jain families use “Ch” names instead, like Chandraprabha – a Jain Tirthankar’s name.)

Starting with Gh (घ) (Also fewer in common use, but some gentle options:)
- Ghanashyam / Ghanshyam – dark cloud-coloured; used broadly, including in Jain families.
- Ghanraj – king among the noble/strong (symbolically like dense clouds bringing good rain).
- Gharshit – one who brings joy to the home.
- Ghananand – deep/strong joy, intense happiness.
In Jain tradition, there is no strict Digambar–Shwetambar difference for baby names; these can be used in both.
If you share which language you prefer for writing (Hindi, Gujarati, English spelling), I can refine the spellings to match that.
