Hi all...

This may be the totally wrong place to ask ...but I could do with help

So.. The background

I'm a sikh (turban wearing) man...who married a blonde blue eyed english woman. Been married a looooong time.

We have now had a baby girl.

So... now we have an issue finding a name that works.

Constraints from us both.

The don't wants :
totally English name,
totally Indian name,
long name that will just get shortened anyway,

a name that is muslim/arabic in origin or attachment.

Please Help!!!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I've heard of a Sikh girl called Alysha and met one called Freya.

Would you consider a name from a completely different country so it is kind of neutral to both of you?

Anita works well both in India and in Europe (different origins, nice in both).

Aditi, Amala, Asha etc are well-known in the UK and causes no issues.

How about Carina, Clara, Freya, Elise, Mia, Viola?

I know a couple of children with the same mix - girls called Sasha and Zena. But maybe Nina and Serena are good too.

Another one I like is Asha, meaning hope.

Hi OP, how about Jasmine (flower), it's a very pretty name, and works well in both cultures.🌸
