Lovely English second name for first name Aarya (British -Indian kid )

[Focusfocus]

hello all!

We've got Aarya for a first name deriving from my native scriptural language in India - Sanskrit. Aarya in Sanskrit means noble. So that's the Indian bit of her heritage.

DH is White British (we can't wait to see how DC looks!) and for the moment are looking for an English girls name as a suitable second name to go with Aarya.

Till now we have - (with double barrelled last name)

Aarya Iris
Aarya Sophie
Aarya Thea

But none of them have wowed us. Also because we have an Indian first name to reflect my heritage and culture and language (hence Aarya) we would like an English second name to reflect her Dad.

Any ideas?

Ta muchly!

Aarya Rose is really nice.

Aarya is very much a girls name in my language :) in my language lots of boys and girls names are spelt in similar ways (anglicised spellings of Bengali boys names often turn out to look like girls names) - but Aarja/Aarya (note not Aarjo) would be very very much a Bengali girls name. Absolutely. Wouldn't have selected it otherwise :)

Aarya Dawn

I like

Aarya Rose
Aarya Elizabeth
Aarya Thea
Aarya Iris

But the thing is I reallllly like Aarya Rose. He doesn't.

Iris is lovely, just lovely.

Rose is very, very overdone as a middle name, as is May/Mae.

Aarya dawn
Aarya joy
Aarya Eve
Aarya hope
Aarya faith

I came on to say Elizabeth too - so another vote here. Agree with your DH, Rose is so over-done as a middle name, it will date a really beautiful first name too quickly!!
