Girls name ideas similar to India

I’m pregnant my with second which we found out is another little girl...which is great news expect we really struggled the first time round with girls names! We totally agree on boys names but find girls trickier. Our daughter is Cassandra / Cassie but I’m not too concerned with it ‘going’

I love the name India..it was one of my husbands suggestions but he’s not 100% so it’s on the maybe pile. We both love Isabella but I think it’s currently in the top ten and I would like quite an uncommon name but not too edgy if that makes sense. Saying that I also love Indigo which is quite out there but husband said no.

Any other ideas of quite stand out girls names would be great!

Thanks everyone these are some great suggestions! I meant similar in vibe but also sound I guess as I do seem to like ‘I’ names and indigo and India are very similar! I especially like Violetta and Sienna so will see what my husband thinks. We have quite an annoying surname also which a lot of the names we like don’t go with ..like I think Dhalia is lovely but our surname has lots of A’s and L’s so sounds a bit of a mouthful!

Imelda

Love India. The name with is most similar in style to me is Cassia, which is obviously a no go with Cassandra Grin.

I think similar Greek influenced names Thalia, Gaia, Helena, Selene, Athena, Artemis, Theia, Larissa, Marina and Nerissa go nicely with Cassandra too.

And agree that fellow "legendary" name Isolde instead of Isabella works well.

I like Violetta too but would that work with your last name?

Our DD was almost Indigo, Indy for short.

If you like Dhalia, how about other plant or flower names like Sorrel?

An alternative colour name could be Azura which is sort of deep blue, like the Ocean. We also have a Denim in the family, only ever met the one.

If you like place names like India, I've got an elderly second cousin named Venice. Again, il only ever met the one. Indiana doesn't seem to be too popular either.
