Indian / Welsh girls names - help please!

[Cathays]

Baby girl due any time soon and we haven’t decided on a name!

She will be of mixed Welsh and Indian (Punjabi Sikh but we’re not religious) heritage and I would love a short name that reflects both if possible?! Any ideas?!

Currently considering:
Nia
Devi
Ani
Saffir
Arian
Asha
Eira
Vina

Sali?

A lot of traditional Welsh and traditional Indian names have Middle Eastern roots. Nihal/Nehel/Nehal for example

Loving the tips and suggestions, thanks all. Good point re. Sara, I hadn’t thought of that one.

Nia - Neutral
Devi - Seems to close to Devil and Divvie
Ani - Neutral
Saffir - I like this one
Arian - I only know boys called this.
Asha - I like this, similar to Aisha
Eira - I wouldn't know how to pronounce this
Vin - Not a huge fan of this for a full name?

I have Pnjabi/seek friend called "Mala" which I think is beautiful and it's not too traditional, in face Google says it has Hebrew origins. She pronounces it "Marla" but I hear her parent's pronounce it without the R which equally sounds good. Really love the name.

Mabli or Alys any good?

Nia is a bit dated, but I like it. Asha's lovely.

I love Arwen, but I had two boys so couldn't use it

I like Eira and as you live in Wales most people will know it and you could get a Welsh speaker to teach you the perfect pronunciation. There are also a few Gwen-Eiras around Snow white. If you like a fairy tale name.

From your list Asha is my favourite bit people will get the hang of Ani - as they do Ana from eastern Europe - and Nia is pretty too. I think Devi is too close to Dewi and Eira is gorgeous but it would appear to attract a little controversy - congratulations on your baby girl OP

Leiqa pronounced Laker is nice.

Nia
Sara
Miriam
Mia

Mali?

Or even just Miri would be lovely

Have always loved Miri, Miriam! But they seem a bit too Middle Eastern/Muslim for us as we don’t have any connection there.

I also love:

Rhosyn - but the ‘Rh’ is hard for non-Welsh speakers, I imagine it would get pronounced ‘Rosyn’
Rosma - too Middle Eastern

Enfys, love Nia though

Miri is fun. Literally.
Enfys could have Presney as a middle name

I love Eira. Does anyone know if there is a masculine version?

@jazzybeats Eirwyn

Eira is beautiful and I know a little Nia which is so pretty too. My sister is Sarita which isn't Welsh but I love it!
If you ever have a boy it has to be Idris! I know both Asian and Welsh boys called this and love it so much!

Or you could go Asian first name, Welsh middle name such as Leila Rhosen.

Nia - not for me, it just brings Mia/Tia etc names to mind. Blends in.
Devi - I'm not keen
Ani - meh
Saffir - it's alright.
Arian - seconding that I know a few boys named this.
Asha - meh.
Eira - I've heard it before but still Iwouldn't be 100% confident on the pronunciation of this. Nice name though.
Vin - coq au vin was my first thought

I really liked the Jasmine, Sara and Arwen suggestions.

Suggestions: Anya, Carys, Eirlys, Elena.

Rhosen isn't a Welsh name. It's not even a Welsh word. The Welsh for Rose is Rhosyn. Rh is a welsh letter not the two letters R and H and has a distinct sound. Rhosyn is a bit naff as a girl's name.

Leila is a name of Arab not Asian origin.

There is a girl in dss class called Varshaa who is the loveliest child.

I like Seren for a Welsh name

Sorry mike. Seemed to have pissed you off there. I actually meant Rhoswen and misspelled it.
Leila was my grandmother's name. She wasn't of Arabic descent but she was Asian.
I was actually not suggesting those names, just giving an example.
Really interesting thread for me as my mum is Asian, my dad English and my children half Welsh.

I did think of Rhoswen. It's pretty. It will get mispronounced outside Wales and probably be spelt as Roswyn (God I hate Bromwyn and Bronwyn for the beautiful name Bronwen).
Nice middle name though.
Sorry Brand.
