I'm 30 weeks pregnant with DC3. This will be a girl, we have 2 boys already. DH is British Indian, I am White British (or whatever you call it).

Our 2 DSs have Indian first names with Classic English Middle names.

Struggling to find a girl's name that we both like. Started off looking at Indian names but are now just looking at everything since it's getting closer to needing a name.

Any inspiration greatly appreciated!

Sheila is both - although maybe old-fashioned in English.
My name is Sheila, is a popular Hindi song, the singer is Katrina. So both of these.
Also Isla - which surprised me.

My daughter is called Anoushka which is Hindi and Hebrew and Russian? There are plenty of other options. Are you wanting ideas?

My friend's little girl, both parents British Indian, is called Kanushka. I believe it is an Indian name, and think it is lovely (although also think it sounds Russian, lol).

Also know girls at school called Ameera, Amara, Ria, Jiya and Janaki which I like.
