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.

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
