Weird! Just posted on another thread about one of my two goddaughter's names and now here's the other one.

My India is three, she gets called Indy for short.

me

BigFurryStripeyTiger · 11/01/2009 22:31

I know a 3 year old one

LiffeyMermaid · 11/01/2009 22:31

There was one at my dc1's old play group. The mother had such a whiney voice.

That's it.

TotallyUnheardOf · 11/01/2009 22:31

I work with one (in her 20s). She's lovely! Don't think it's desperately popular (not round here, anyway), for little ones.

LiffeyMermaid · 11/01/2009 22:31

Well, the one I knew would be 6 now.

Dottoressa · 11/01/2009 22:34

I do. She's six.

Tortoise · 11/01/2009 22:35

I know 2.
One in DS2's class and one on his under 9s football team.

madwomanintheattic · 11/01/2009 22:35

i know 2 (both 8 yo) although one was christened indiana i think...

wotulookinat · 11/01/2009 22:38

DH's stepsister recently used it for a middle name for her DD. Personally I don't like it, and neither did the grandparents.

Rindercella · 11/01/2009 22:42

I have an India.

My DD is 16 months. I have never met another India, but I have heard of a couple of others of a similar age near by. (obviously) I think it is a beautiful name and suits her very well. Her middle name is Clarabelle (MIL's name).

9 out of 10 people say what a beautiful name it is.

shortshafe · 11/01/2009 22:52

I know one - she's 3 and is India Mae, known as Indie.

I think it's lovely, also like India Rose.

SoMuchToBits · 11/01/2009 22:54

I know one, aged 7 (in ds's class at school)

largeginandtonic · 12/01/2009 08:31

India Clarabelle is very sweet.

It is a lovely name.

Momino · 12/01/2009 14:14

my DD1 (age 3) is India - it's not high in the polls but I'm amazed at how many we know. I know two others in our area.

Momino · 12/01/2009 14:18

oh, my India's middle name is Kate.

LongDroopyBoobyLady · 12/01/2009 14:18

I wanted an India Amber 14 years ago but got talked out of it - still love it but despite having 2 DDs didn't call either of them India.

stuffitllama · 12/01/2009 14:21

Two children

bronze · 12/01/2009 14:22

One in ds1s class (age 5)

MrsMattie · 12/01/2009 15:13

I know 3. One adult, one 9 yr old and one 3 yr old.

ScottishMummy · 12/01/2009 15:19

1 child and mother unfathomably pronounces it as En-dee-aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Tinker · 12/01/2009 15:21

Know one about 10. India Knight woudl be enough to put me off

TooMuchMakkaPakka · 13/01/2009 00:42

i don't know any Indias (although i have been there) perhaps i should get out more, I'm clearly in the minority. I like the name though.

sweetie66 · 13/01/2009 13:38

I know one. Mother a wannabe WAG. Sorry to all Mums of India's!

ThingOne · 13/01/2009 13:45
