Name for Sikh/English girl?

[PotatoSalady]

Punjabi Sikh dad and English mother. We already have a 2 year old boy with a very traditional Punjabi/Sikh name - Sohan, and are due with a little girl in April 2022. We would love another traditional Indian name but with easy pronunciation for our English speaking family members and school etc. We would have the middle name Kaur. Some examples of girls names we like are -

Asha
Anika
Nilam
Nina
Ameya
Elora

Which name do you like best out of these or suggestions for any more we might not have thought of? TIA xx

Same ethnic mix as you. My dd is called Priya.

Nina and Elora

Asha is beautiful

The list for our Punjabi-English DD included:
Uma
Diya/Deeya
Devi
Kumari

I love Nina too.

Elora -
or Anika

Raani

Definitely not Elora- ask your husband/his family why.

Anisha
Dhaya
Jaya
Asees is an old name that's making a comeback which I love.
Zara
Mya
Avani pronounced Av-ar-nee

@bleedinora what's up with Elora?

Elora is beautiful

Natasha (typical desi name) shortened to Asha
Priya
Maya
Zara
Malika
Seema
Hema
Diya
Jaya

Congratulations! I love them all, especially Asha. Not too keen on Nilam but that might because I know of a not very nice woman at work with that name.
I also like Jesminder/Jasminder and as someone else mentioned, Jaya.

It can be misconstrued to mean 'this dick' (e- this, lora- dick). Lora can also mean 'need/necessity' in Punjabi. Either way, I think it'll result in a few sniggers if chosen for a name.

Elora is so pretty!

Asha, love it.

I like all apart from Nilam

Others:
Priyanka/Priya
Kemi
Jasleen
Katia
Haspira
Shirina

They're all lovely but I think Asha Kaur and Nina Kaur are my favourites

I love Nina and Nilam.

I know a Raveen, beautiful name, (lovely woman too)

Thank you everyone for your feedback/suggestions - all very helpful seems Nilam/Neelam isn’t overly popular but all the others have got the thumbs up. I think we are leaning towards Asha/Nina at the moment but that could change by the time she’s born.. Jaya is lovely but we have a niece with that name. I’ll ask husband about Elora and possible rude connotations 😟 I do think it’s a beautiful name though so would be sad to have to scrap it! Will report back 😁

@PotatoSalady did you pick a name in the end?!

Elora
Ameya
Anika
Asha
Nina (popular but dull)
In that order
Nilam I think will often be mistaken for a boys name

I think Anusha is lovely

Asha and Anika are my faves, beautiful and perfect with Sohan. I also like Nina but not quite so much. Congratulations
