hi all,
What do you think of the name India for a little girl?
I usually prefere more classic English names, not into calling children sky, apple etc, anyway since iv come across India I love it, but dont want it to be a name people laugh at.
Honest opinions please

And if u have any ideas what goes well with it as a middle name I'd appreciate it Surname is 2 syllables starting with H.

Thank you xx

Only if you are uber posh or rich. Preferably both!

Not especially keen I'm afraid - I think of it as a place name, or a name which used to seem exotic in the UK.

It's lovely. I also like Indigo

I like it...on my list.

However my DH said it would be 'kicking the ass' out of being middle class!!!!

Go for it...

I tend to find it a little odd, like calling a child Pakistan. I think if you have no connection to India - never been, no relatives there - then it's not really appropriate.

I love the name India, on my own list. If you like classic english names, why not use one as a middle name? For example India Elizabeth, India Sophie or India Eleanor?
