Radhika

[PriyankaMaria]

hi guys! What do you think of this name?
I first heard about this name in the Wikipedia page on Radhika Merchant‘s wedding and fell in love with it immediately
thoughts?
raa-di-cka or rad-hee-kah or Ra-di-ka

It’s beautiful name, isn’t it? In Hinduism, Radhika is the other half of Krishna, and is symbolic of devoted love.

As for pronunciation, it’s either the first or third in your OP. The first half of the name is RAA. The “dhi” part can be either a short di or a long dee; I’ve heard both.
I thought pronouncing it with a short Ra and long Dee would sound so wrong to my ears (of Indian heritage) but I’ve heard an American Radhika sound her name exactly like that, and I did get used to it after a while haha.

I work with an Indian girl with this name - pronounced Ra-di-cka 🙂

I love it.

Beautiful we should do a thread about Indian names actually many are utterly gorgrous

ok, seems like a winner!!!!! others

hmmm not a fan
