I know a 2 year old India.

Nice name though

loobylu3 · 11/01/2009 11:45

I know of a 6 year old India at one of the local primary schools and a baby India also. Neither of these are children that I know personally, but have heard the name via others. It is definitely uncommon still.

I know of one - it's a country in South Asia.

I know a 40-summat India. Jo Whiley on Radio 1 has a teenage India. And there's the fashion designer IT girl India Hicks, who must be late 30s or 40s.

I know one - 9 - and she's very proud of her name! I must admit I wouldn't have chosen it, but she clearly loves it so it was a good choice by her parents. She's the only one I have known personally.
