Khushi means happiness in Hindi! Love the meaning, I’m not so sure what non-Hindi speakers will make of the sound? Opinions?
pronounced Kh-u-shee (u is like the “oo” sound in Whoosh).

Kushi in one european language means "woman's hairy vulva". PLEASE do not call your child this name if you think they might ever want to travel to mainland europe!!

Omg!

I immediately thought cushy meaning easy. Sorry.

It's a lovely name. And an excellent Indian restaurant in Edinburgh so I hope you are not north of the border.

Used to know a Khushbinder who went by Khush most of the time. Last seen working for a prestigious European organisation in Strasbourg.

Lots of words are slang for private parts. There's no point worrying.

I really want to love this name but I immediately thought of a vulva I'm afraid. Vulvas are nice though 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks for sharing all your thoughts, it’s been so helpful! We are going back to our list to choose something different, I just don’t think it works internationally for all the reasons mentioned on this thread.
