I was going to suggest Anjeli. It means gift, offering. I think it's a character in a story but I can't remember the name of it.

kaytee87 · 30/05/2017 10:29

I was going to say either Yasmin grace or maya grace

I always like Shivani. Also like Anjali, as suggested above.

Priyan is lovely.

Congrats!

Lavanya ... it's like Lavinia.

I have a Kiran and Lalita. Kiran because it's both Gaelic and Indian ( with opposite meanings ! means 'little dark one' in Gaelic and 'ray of light' in Sanskrit). Lalita is a bit like Lolita so easy for people to say. My name is Miriam - I wouldn't recommend it . It's not a common Hindu/Sikh name at all so I get called Mariam . Assumptions have been made all my life, due to my dark Irish features, about my ethnicity/religion especially combined with my not so common Hindu surname. Not that it should matter at all but it's a bit uncomfortable.

Smile The combinations you are considering are lovely. Maya Daisy could be Maya Marguerite Maya Lily could even be Maya Lillian Whatever you choose it will be gracious and beautiful Flowers

Maya Fleur?

I think you should stick with a single syllable middle name.

Or how about Zara May?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/05/2017 21:10

From your list OP, I like Maya Lily.

IggyAce · 28/05/2017 19:19

I used to have Indian pen pals named Priya and Priti. Lovely Smile
What about Tharani?

TestTubeTeen · 28/05/2017 18:26

Shanti: means peace

TestTubeTeen · 28/05/2017 18:24

Is there a need to have a Hindi / Indian name rather than a Muslim names?

Many suggested are very Muslim identity.

Which may or may not be what is needed.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/05/2017 18:17

Maya Willow.
