Getting induced tomorrow- need final decision on girl's name

I am being induced tomorrow with DC2. We have a boy's name sorted but have been struggling with a girl's. DH is Indian and DD1 has Indian first name/English middle name. This time we have decided on the other way around for a girl and are thinking Kiera Anuja.
Anuja means younger sister which I think would be quite cute but haven't been sure the two names match. Other Middle names are: elishana or amba (Indian spelling). Any thoughts?

Anuja is lovely! It's a bit tricky saying it after the 'a' of Kiera, but I don't think it's a big problem, it doesn't sound silly. Kiera Elishana is easier to say, but I prefer the sounds of Anuja and the meaning is so nice. I wouldn't go for Amba, since it sounds the same as Amber, and it would be nice for both your daughters to have an Indian name that's distinctively Indian, iykwim.

Good luck for tomorrow!

Being Scottish I would spell it Keira but its a lovely name and as it means swarthy or dark it is perfect for your little one as I presume she will have lovely dark colouring. I have a Ciar (Gaelic spelling) as he was very dark when he was born - then he went blond!!! Now going dark again though :)

In fact, I take that back, I wouldn't spell it Keira, I'd spell it Ciara :o
