India or Anya?

[BrooklandsGrandNational]

Simple question - which do you prefer and why?!

Anya is beautiful.

Personally not a fan of the name Sonia, Anya sounds similar so pass. Like the name India but maybe would go for the name Indie?

What about Ananya? It's even nicer than Anya and its Indian so you sort of get both.

Anya is perilously close to Tanya.

Yes it is. I would choose India.

I have only ever come across German Anyas. I would expect a German connection if I heard that name.

Anya! Have you thought about Anaya?

Anya. I agree India is a bit 80s.

Anya - it's just lovely but a bit more interesting than Anna

India is only ok. It is a place which is considered a bit naff I think. It's the naff of the future anyway.

India

India.

I don't like the "ya" sound.

Interesting squoosh & math, never thought of it as being close to Tanya, always saw it as being close to Anna

What about Andrea ? instead of India. Andrea has a similar sound to India but more longevity.

Echo what some posters have said - India only transcends its try hardness if you actually know and love the place. Somewhere you and DP fell in love? Paris, Venice, Bognor...

Since when has India been naff?
