‘India’ Alternatives

[Sessy19]

All hypothetical, as currently TTC, but interested in opinions.

OH likes India for a girl, but as it’s the name he put forward for his first daughter with ex-wife, it’s not high on my list. I don’t object to it, but it’s much more to her taste than to mine.

I like Nancy and Saffron, he’s not into either.

Any suggestions. I’d prefer less common names: no Olivias, Megans, Evies etc

Pakistan?

Marla is nice. I don't think it's particularly common these days. I also like Mara.

Jasmine
Zelda
Oriana
Roxanne
Xanthe
Pearl
France's
Maisie

*Frances

Pakistan

Try a classic Greek name - Diana, Olympia, Athena, Electra... google and you will find long lists of beautiful names that are no longer used often in the English speaking world.

Savanah. Georgia. Isla.

Iona

Gisele

Greta

Nina

Lydia

Octavia

Hero

There is a female British actress called Indira Varma. That's where I thought of it from.

We have a Cleo, which is a vintage name but which I think still sounds modern and fresh and it’s currently not that common. It has a lovely meaning too (glory).

Oops sorry, posted on the wrong thread, meant to post on one seeking vintage girl names! But incidentally my husband also loved India so.......
