Hello,

We're expecting baby no. 3, not finding out what we're having.

We have a few boys names we really like but are struggling with girl names.

I found a good list on here (copied and pasted below) but none of them are for me... do you have any other suggestions?!

Thank you in advance 😊

I love all the India names! They are very beautiful.

Mischa (to me) is a Russian diminutive of Mikhail, so is masculine.

i have a very soft spot for Anoushka, as that was one of my DFs pet names for me

Many of your so-called English names are actually Welsh.
Namely:

• Eleri
• Lowri
• Nia
• Siân

Wales is not part of England, and Welsh is an old language not a dialect of English.

Helpful.

I have a multitude of British Punjabi relations, so can offer for consideration: Tara, Reena, Reya, Neha, Aaria, Komal, Saral, Serena, Eesha, Rashmi, Soni.

Good luck!

If you have a Punjabi surname, I might go for a first name that's easy to spell (whether Punjabi or otherwise). I have to spell out my surname every time and so it's nice having an easy first name that everyone can pronounce and spell.

Comedycook · 21/12/2022 20:05

I really love the name Anita
