Nisha is growing on me, its pronounced the same as the Irish name Naoise, DS has an Irish name but its in the top 20 where we live and no one has had an issue with it so far, whereas Naoise is far less known and originally a boys name.
Would it be weird using Nisha? Weve no Indian heritage at all!

would he* (your DH!) buy
Or what about Lena?

Ah that’s tough he’s backtracking so close to birth - but at least he likes your name? Grin
What about Leonie? Friends of ours with a daughter of that name abbreviate it sometimes to a name which sounds like “nee-nee” - it doesn’t feel such a leap to use Nina as a nickname for Leonie, would be buy a longer name starting with L with Nina as an abbreviation?

How about combining the two names. Neah. Neah bay is a beautiful spot in Washington state, I fell in love with the name when I visited a few years ago.
