Trying to find a name that fits in both cultures!
So far have

-Asha
-Lola

But none feel quite right.

Any other suggestions?

Anjali. Mind you, there is a massively popular actress/model called Anjali, so that might be worth considering.

Tara (it's DH's Hindu nan's name!)

And Ria.... but I know soooo many little girls named Ria, it's a little overused, but probably because it works so well and is pretty.
