Indian girls names

[lightgreenglass]

Previously we settled on Maya but recently I have found out in my mother's mother tongue it means money/greed and someone even mentioned an evil to stay away from.

I know it has lots of lovely meanings in different languages but I can't seem to overcome this and have decided not to call my baby Maya but now I haven't a clue what to call her!

Anyone know any lovely Indian girls names?

TIA

I love Soraya, Samara & Samia.
