Would love to hear your preference!

Indira (although how exactly is it pronounced?)

We would pronounce it In-DEE-ra

I like that!

Love Indira! Such a beautiful name

Love Indira!

Indira is lovely and elegant.

I'm not mad about the Yak part of Yakira plus I bet it would be misheard as Shakira by lots of people.

Indira is a very nice name.

Prefer Indira. She may get Indie as a nickname, would that bother you?

Love Indira! It was on our list as well for similar reasons. It's beautiful in the ears and hard to mess up pronunciation-wise which was a factor for us.

Love them both but I would choose Yakira

Thank you all for your feedback
It seems Indira is the clear favourite!
Really helpful to hear others' opinions

Indira for me. Worst case Yakira could be called Yak for short at school

Indira is much nicer, especially Indi for short. Yak isn't a good nickname,

Indira is lovely - I misread it as India, which I feel pretty neutral about, but Indira is beautiful.

Indira is pretty. Not keen on Yakira.

Idk what it means but Yakira does not sound great

Indira is absolutely beautiful. I'm not keen on Yakera.

I have an Indira. So, Indira!

Yakima sounds like live culture yoghurt!

Indira is lovely.

Indira is a beautiful name.

Yak was slang for vomit at school. Don't know how common this is but am going to mention.

As I've already said Indira is a lovely name.

Indira definitely- brings to mind the former Indian prime minister, a strong woman.
Yakira makes me think of a yak unfortunately.

My mum is Indira! Love it. Everyone can say her name and it does sound beautiful

Indira is a beautiful name. Less keen on Yakira.
