Dear Mummies and Mummies to be, please let me know what your thoughts are about the girl's name Ananda? We really like the meaning of it with my partner, it means "ultimate bliss" in sanskrit. We are thinking of giving two surnames with the main surname being Adams. Thank you for your opinions!

Much prefer Amanda.

Nice but everyone will call her Amanda sadly

I know a girl/young teenager named Anandi? Ananda is very close to Amanda, which may cause some confusion. (No, I'm Ananda. Not Amanda...)

I know someone with an adult daughter called Ananda. I didn't know the meaning but now I do I can see why she chose it.

I would imagine people would think you had sinus problems and it was Amanda tbh.

Do you say it like Amanda or Anarnda?
