Malti

[ivyflower]

What do you think of the Indian baby girl name Malti? (Meaning: Jasmine). Also what sort of personality does this name suggest?

It’s pronounced like: Mahl-ti

Jazmin, I prefer.

How about Amal?

[JustMaggie]

Malti is a nice name. I imagine a little spunky child with that name. The kind of kid that keeps you on your toes

[wizzywig]

Isn't that Priyanka Chopra and Jonas man's daughters name? It's lovely!

[villamariavintrapp]

Yes it's Priyanka chopra's daughter's name. Which really puts me off. Objectively I think it's fine.

[SiobhanSharpe]

Hmm. If you're in the UK it can look a bit like it's short for Malteser...

[MangshorJhol]

In India it would usually be spent Malati. And the second A is not totally silent. I’m Bengali so we would actually pronounce it as Ma-lot(soft t)-ee.

[MangshorJhol]

And if you want an Indian name then Amal is typically a boy’s name in India but I believe an Arabic girl’s name.

[Jinglybangly]

If you are UK it would probably get pronounced 'multi' and she would have to spend her life spelling her name and correcting people on it's pronunciation.

Sorry to say that the first thing that popped into my head (and the first Google suggestion when I typed it) is the maltipoo dog breed

[drpet49]

Maltesers.

[pinkyredrose]

Is your surname 'Sir'.? Sorry!

It's quite a pretty name.

[BoohooWoohoo]

It's a lively sounding name but in the UK it might be initially pronounced to rhyme with Balti which would be annoying.

[whatausername]

It's nice. I mispronounced it on first reading but, obviously, adapted when you explained.

[SkiingIsHeaven]

@drpet49

Maltesers.

They definitely will tease her.

[continentallentil]

It makes me think of Malt, as in Whiskey or Maltesers, so I wouldn’t, which is a shame as it’s quite sweet - although maybe more for a little girl than an adult

[wandawaves]

I know an adult Malti. I think it's lovely, if you are indeed Indian.
