I loooove this name, and my future daughter will have this name, although my other half prefers Indira, not so keen on that though. In either case we will definitely just call her Indy/Indie for short, that's soooo cute IMO.

I don't know any India children, In fact I am only teaching two place names at the moment.

Twims · 19/01/2009 00:04

I know of an India - aged 3.

LyraSilvertongue · 18/01/2009 23:57

MrsPurple · 18/01/2009 23:50

TooMuchMakkaPakka · 13/01/2009 00:42

i don't know any Indias (although i have been there) perhaps i should get out more, I'm clearly in the minority. I like the name though.

stuffitllama · 12/01/2009 14:21

Two children

LongDroopyBoobyLady · 12/01/2009 14:18

I wanted an India Amber 14 years ago but got talked out of it - still love it but despite having 2 DDs didn't call either of them India.

Momino · 12/01/2009 14:18

oh, my India's middle name is Kate.

Momino · 12/01/2009 14:14

my DD1 (age 3) is India - it's not high in the polls but I'm amazed at how many we know. I know two others in our area.

largeginandtonic · 12/01/2009 08:31

India Clarabelle is very sweet.

It is a lovely name.

SoMuchToBits · 11/01/2009 22:54

I know one, aged 7 (in ds's class at school)

shortshafe · 11/01/2009 22:52

I know one - she's 3 and is India Mae, known as Indie.

I think it's lovely, also like India Rose.

Rindercella · 11/01/2009 22:42

I have an India.

My DD is 16 months. I have never met another India, but I have heard of a couple of others of a similar age near by. (obviously) I think it is a beautiful name and suits her very well. Her middle name is Clarabelle (MIL's name).

9 out of 10 people say what a beautiful name it is.

wotulookinat · 11/01/2009 22:38

DH's stepsister recently used it for a middle name for her DD. Personally I don't like it, and neither did the grandparents.
