Indian girls names beginning with K....?

[vanimal]

I am after some help naming my gorgeous daughter.

It has to be an Indian name, beginning with K.

Any ideas, or do you know of anyone with a K name (whether you like it or not).

Can't find anything out there!

thanks all

Kamira or Kulbinder {a girl at school was called this and we used to call her Bindy}?

Krupita? I taught a lovely girl with this name.

I have an aunt called Kamala and a cousin called Kavita both of which are pretty. That is an amazing list madre!!

A South African Friend of Indian Descent is called Kamini. I love it.

Ooooh - these are great, thank you guys!

MN rocks

Karishma?

I worked with a Kavita...sorry not much help otherwise,have you tried baby naming websites?

kajal
kiran

on that long list, just noticed kanjri and kamini - dont go for these!! they have different meanings, to those on the list, in other parts of asia. (or they sound like words that dont have good meanings)

i like:
kiran
kareena

more traditional kaushalya.

Ah, good point about kanjri and kamini - I didn't think about that.

My older daughter is called Kajal, and the favourites for this one are Kiran or Kareena at the moment.

Anyone here think that having a kajal and a kareena is too cheesy (a la bollywood actress names)?

Too Cheesy for me, I do love Kiran though, and Kavita 0r Kaya, for an easy for a Non Indian person to pronounce name!

I know a little girl called Kerala (dad Indian, mum Australian)

I like Kavita mainly because it means poem/poetry.

I know a Kavita and a Kiran (mother and daughter). Kavita is called Kate by all her friends. Both lovely names.

Kiran is okay but can be used as a boy's name too so is not feminine enough for me personally.
Kareena is pretty and perhaps more multicultural sounding (Carina). It could also be shortened to Reena which is pretty. Oh, and I think it is easier for the average British person to pronounce too than Kiran or Kavita which sound prettier said with an Indian accent!
I'm not sure if they are bollywood type names as I'm not into bollywood movies I'm afraid!! I certainly don't think most people in this country would think of that at all!
Good luck choosing!

Kamal is nice, but only with the proper indian pronounciation.
sounds wrong in english.

Kamal = Camel?!
Kashi - Cushy?

My faves from the list are:
Kaia / Keya
Kala (sounds like Carla)
Katrina
Kavita
Keva

i went to school with a Kavita. Lovely name

the proper pronounciation, isnt camel or cushy.
so living here, it makes more sense to choose names that sound ok in english too.

i know a Kaveri - really like that name

Kamala is 'horrible' in Finnish. Personally, I will always remember this name as it's quite... horrible. Good thing is nobody should care about what the Finns think
