Our baby will be mixed Indian and British, and will have my husband's Indian surname. He is keen that the baby doesn't have a typically Indian first name, since the surname is already. The thing is that I really love Indian names, so I'm trying to come up with ideas that will keep us both happy.
What do you think of the name Maya? My main reservation is that it might lead to confusion about pronounciation. I think it is meant to be pronounced MY-a, but wonder if people might say MAY-a. I guess we could spell it Mya, but that's not the Indian/Sanskrit spelling.
Maybe I'm over-thinking!!! Any other nice name ideas?
Thanks!
