Arjun is in Hindi - where the 'N' is shortened.

In the original Sanskrit, the 'N' is pronounced fully as 'Na' . It is NOT pronounced 'Naa...' It is just 'Na'

'Arju-Na'. Got it?

Same with Krishna. In hindi you would say "Krish-n". In Sanskrit it becomes "Krish-Na" .

It is NOT pronounced as "Krishnaa" - with an elongated "aaa" at the end.

"Krishnaa" becomes a feminine name- in this case that of Draupadi.

"Janamejaya said, 'Please recite the names of Dhritarashtra's sons according to the order of their birth.'

"Vaisampayana said, 'Their names, O king, according to the order of birth, are Duryodhana, Yuyutsu, Duhsasana, Duhsaha, Duhsala, Jalasandha, Sama, Saha, Vinda and Anuvinda, Durdharsha, Suvahu, Dushpradharshana, Durmarshana and Durmukha, Dushkarna, and Karna; Vivinsati and Vikarna, Sala, Satwa, Sulochana, Chitra and Upachitra, Chitraksha, Charuchitra, Sarasana, Durmada and Durvigaha, Vivitsu, Vikatanana; Urnanabha and Sunabha, then Nandaka and Upanandaka; Chitravana, Chitravarman, Suvarman, Durvimochana; Ayovahu, Mahavahu, Chitranga, Chitrakundala, Bhimavega, Bhimavala, Balaki, Balavardhana, Ugrayudha; Bhima, Karna, Kanakaya, Dridhayudha, Dridhavarman, Dridhakshatra, Somakitri, Anudara; Dridhasandha, Jarasandha, Satyasandha, Sada, Suvak, Ugrasravas, Ugrasena, Senani, Dushparajaya, Aparajita, Kundasayin, Visalaksha, Duradhara; Dridhahasta, Suhasta, Vatavega, and Suvarchas; Adityaketu, Vahvashin, Nagadatta, Agrayayin; Kavachin, Krathana, Kunda, Kundadhara, Dhanurdhara; the heroes, Ugra and Bhimaratha, Viravahu, Alolupa; Abhaya, and Raudrakarman, and Dridharatha; Anadhrishya, Kundabhedin, Viravi, Dhirghalochana Pramatha, and Pramathi and the powerful Dhirgharoma; Dirghavahu, Mahavahu, Vyudhoru, Kanakadhvaja; Kundasi and Virajas. Besides these hundred sons, there was a daughter named Duhsala. All were heroes and Atirathas, and were well-skilled in warfare. All were learned in the Vedas, and all kinds of weapons. And, O, king, worthy wives were in time selected for all of them by Dhritarashtra after proper examination. And king Dhritarashtra, O monarch, also bestowed Duhsala, in proper time and with proper rites, upon Jayadratha (the king of Sindhu).'

Oh you have counted also 😲😆😆

But may be your mistake...Have you also counted Yuyutsu & Dushala?

I have shared these names before 2.5 months 😛

No I left out Dushala- the daughter.

Here Karna name is given 2 times...See this ...also There was 1 name is Bhima in Kauravas...!!😲😛

You are correct. Karna is given twice.

Hey I have a doubt. Disregarding the fact that Parashurama did not notice Karna's Kavachakundalam as divine, wouldn't he have found out Karna wasn't a Brahmin the way he performed Sandhyavandanam? Or does everyone do it the same way?

Yeah, even i am getting 102 counting Yuyustu😆... maybe as Manan pointed out its due to the mention of Karna two times.. and Bhima was a Kaurava??😲😆
