Priya Rose is such a pretty name. You're right that it totally goes well in the UK but also is a nice nod to her Indian roots also.

Indira
Parvati
Aliysha
Vaani

I think any of those go well, and could still work fine in the UK.

I know an Anglo Indian child named Anita because apparently it works in both cultures

Hema
Taran

They're not as anglo sounding as some names, but then neither is Priya.

Like Priya they are easy to spell, sound similar to English names (Hema sounds a lot like Emma) but are recognisably Indian and beautiful.

I prefer the Anita spelling if you go that way :)

SheilaHammond · 28/05/2017 08:25

Monica? My Indian friend is named this and says it works in English and in Hindi.

MadameJosephine · 28/05/2017 08:28

Maya is a beautiful name OP

How about Maya Joy or Maya Grace?

CormorantDevouringTime · 28/05/2017 08:30

How about another flower middle name like her sister? Jasmine perhaps
