Hi Girls
I posted another thread yesterday about Mary. We have decided maybe to used or 2nd choice name and add Mary on the end so our name now is
India Mary.
Tbh I love both names but we are Irish & live here so India would be extremely uncommon over here. What is the general consensus re India in the UK I mentioned it on the other thread and other mns said it has reached its peak, used by people who wanted to appear aristocratic and is now dated. A poster also mentioned it may also come accross a bit chav due to it being a place name

I really appreciate any feedback as neither hubby or I have ever met or heard of an India. Btw we went to Mauritius on honeymoon so we have a reason to have an India(it is in the Indian ocean after all lol). Would love to know if you know any Indias or please let me know your honest opinion.

Thanks GML-I posted this to get a 2nd opinion, so far our list comprises of Molly Catherine,
Mairbel Catherine
India Mary

I think India is so unusual but is it too much so??? Is it chav or trying to appear high society? Have never met an India I have only heard of India Hicks the designer...

I wouldn't. I do think it's a bit chav. Think Mary is fab though

I absolutely detest India as a first name, sorry. I would absolutely stick with Mary in your shoes, it's underused at the moment and lovely. I'm not sure how India would go down in Ireland. Where I'm from they'd probably think you were a bit bonkers
