Struggling to think of a name that's going to suit my little princess....she is half indian half white. Daddy is quite fair but then i am quite tanned as have spanish in my family! So she's going to be a mix!
Wanted an indian name that wasnt too traditional but then wasn't too british? We kinda have our hearts set on Savannah-Rose as Rose is my middle name but my other halfs brother is called Savan and if we were to ever shorten her name it would be Sav - the same as his!!!

HELP!!

White Aussie friend of Scots /Irish descent and DP, Welsh, but parents from Kolkata, has this down to a fine art. Three girls and a boy.
Mia
Kiran
Tara
Bella

All used in India, all also Western. Kiran is for a boy or a girl in India.

How about:
Sini
Deepa
Amrita
Anisha
Preeti
Priyamvada
Jaya
Salima

Indira is lovely.

LaWeasel · 19/02/2011 23:13

Anwar and Nisha are my favourite Asian names if you want to go that way.

freshmint · 19/02/2011 23:15

If you want more western sounding names that work in India how about Sophia orAnna

Otherwise I love Sunita. Uma would be cool as well!

A1980 · 20/02/2011 01:14

Vandana - worship

Sonali - gold (i think!)

My friend has just adopted a newborn Indian baby and called her Ruby. Not a name with an Indian heritage but some of the most precious rubies in the world are to be found in India...
