I'm Indian, and DH is English, and we're looking for a bicultural girl's name, which will be easy to spell and pronounce for both our families. We both really like Tara (with Uma as a close second), with Naomi as a middle name (after DH's much-missed grandmother), though since DH is a classicist and I'm a scientist, I have to admit to having a soft spot for Hypatia as a middle name.
This may however just be pregnancy hormones, and DH points out that Hypatia sound either like a disease or a body part (as in 'I have a pain in the Hypatia'), and I can't say I disagree with him. But any suggestions for classical sounding women's names with some associations with science welcome. Otherwise its going to be Tara Naomi DH's surname.
What does the mumsnet oracle think?
