Right it is me again, I know, I know, I know I liked Cecily but I have gone off it, don't know why. Claudia and India are both names I have loved for a while but never thought I would use them for one of my own children but I am getting desperate...

So, which one is the nicer?

DD1 is Grace, DD2 is Maya

I like Claudia, but I do not like the meaning, otherwise it was on our list.

lapin - never even noticed the syllable addition for each child I have! Believe you me, this fanjo will be shut for at least 10 years, nothing is coming near it, no matter how much money he offers!

I think I prefer Claudia too, bit more "traditional" than India.

Was thinking of Claudia Eve? We definitely need a one syllable middle name to go with it.

Agree that Claudia goes better with Grace and Maya.

Do you think you need to be dark skinned to suit India though? I have this mental image of a dark skinned/haired child being called India although India Hicks is very fair.
