That might help with a few more ideas

I love Neha and Asha (means hope).

Sapna

I know a Jaina (pron Jayna) if you are looking for something semi 'English'

I would think you would need to make it more linked to the part of India you have a connection with (am assuming connection).

Mina
Mia
Maya

JiltedJohnsJulie · 25/03/2012 20:09

Is Mira pronounced the same as Myra? If so I'd forget about that one.

Think Tara and Hameer are my favourites.
