I think it's lovely!

I was at school with a Nisha and a Namisha and always thought they were lovely names, I am not Indian or have any Indian family though so I'm not sure how old fashioned or fashionable they are in that culture currently or if it matters.

It’s a Romany word for wife/girlfriend. So that is a weird name to give a child.

Thats truw with so many name though. Nick means fuck in french and Algerian, Mona means fanny in some Italian dialects
