    Congratulations on your baby boy. Here are authentic Jain-name options that suit a calm, pensive, happy, kind, and quick-learning spirit. I’ve added a simple meaning (arth) for each, with note on any traditional differences.

    • Shantinath
    - Meaning/arth: “Lord of peace.” A revered Tirthankar name; evokes calm and serenity. - Note: Used in both Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions as a Tirthankar name.
    • Ajitnath
    - Meaning/arth: “Invincible Lord.” Tirthankar name; carries a sense of steadfastness and courage. - Note: Common in Jain communities across traditions.
    • Sambhavnath
    - Meaning/arth: “Accorded by all beings; one who is widely revealed.” Links to auspicious growth and clarity. - Note: Tirthankar name; familiar in Jain households.
    • Parshvanath
    - Meaning/arth: “Protector of the teachings (Dharma).” A strong, noble name with historic Jain resonance. - Note: Widely accepted in both major Jain traditions.
    • Mahavira
    - Meaning/arth: “Great hero.” Name of the 24th Tirthankar; conveys leadership, courage, compassion. - Note: Very well-known; many Jain families choose this as a given name.
    • Neminath
    - Meaning/arth: “Slope/firm ground” or “the one who brings peace.” Gentle, dignified sound. - Note: A canonical Tirthankar name used in Jain communities.
    • Shreyansh
    - Meaning/arth: “prosperity, excellence; auspicious.” Modern-friendly pronunciation; associated with wisdom and success. - Note: Popular in Jain communities; easy for English speakers.
    • Navin (often written Navin or Navinath in some contexts)
    - Meaning/arth: “New; modern; fresh.” Implies a new, bright beginning and quick learning. - Note: While not a Tirthankar name, it is commonly used in Jain families and easy to pronounce in English.
    • Nirav
    - Meaning/arth: “Quiet, calm, serene.” Reflects a peaceful temperament. - Note: A general Indian given name, suitable for a Jain child, easy to pronounce in English.
    • Kshitij
    - Meaning/arth: “Horizon; breadth.” Suggests wide-hearted thinking and openness. - Note: Modern yet rooted in Indian naming traditions; clear pronunciation.
    • Kshama (often as Kshama-priya or Kshama)
    - Meaning/arth: “Forgiving; kind.” The virtue of forgiveness is central in Jain ethics. - Note: Simple, meaningful, and easy to say in English.
    • Suvrat
    - Meaning/arth: “Well-observed vows; virtuous discipline.” Conveys steadiness and ethical focus. - Note: Directly ties to Jain ideals of restraint and self-control.

    Tips for choosing:

    • If you want a strong traditional Jain connection, consider Shantinath, Ajitnath, Parshvanath, Sambhavnath, or Mahavira.
    • If you prefer a modern, easy-to-pronounce name with Jain virtue, options like Shreyansh, Nirav, Navin, or Suvrat work well.
    • For a calm, gentle vibe, Nirav or Shantinath are especially fitting.

    If you’d like, I can tailor a short list to your preferred initial letter (for family traditions) or to a specific virtue you want to emphasize (e.g., peace, wisdom, kindness).
