DC2 due imminently. DD1 name is Gaia and would like something in a similar fashion. Problem is that we really can't come up with anything.

Ruled out Hera, Juno, Isis, Aurora etc as they're too similar. Like Astrid and Aster but they don't work with our surname.

Any ideas? I like Isla but every second girl around here has that name which does put me off tbh.

For some reason I think an Indian name would go.

Some are a bit out there if you aren’t of Indian heritage, but eg Ira (meaning Earth, so goes nicely with Gaia) would work.

Some food for thought: m.babynames.org.uk/indian-girl-baby-names.htm
