Any ideas for boys and girls names that will cross both cultures? Feel it's important for our child to inherit something from both of us. Ideas welcome

I had an Indian friend at college called Rufia (she said it was quite popular amongst her culture) lovely name IMO and would sound nice in Irish too.

Kieran/Kiran for a boy.

The Irish name Naoise is prounonced NEE sha which reminds me of the Indian name Neha. If I ever have a DD I will call her Neha, love that name.

'Amena' is Celtic and also Muslim/Arabic - but not sure whether common in India.

How about Rosheen or Roshni for a girl - I believe the first is Irish and the second Indian. They sound very similar to me (and very pretty!)
