What do people think of India?

[endoxana]

Only 3 weeks to go and still undecided. I really liked India but my sister in law told me that India together with our surname sounded like an Indian restaurant!Its put me off it!

Miaow!what a snippy post!your name Rindercella?do you convey so much, but in this life deliver so little?

Twas only jesting, honestly. Have a very Merry Christmas

How about Indira maybe, its sanskrit for splendid

I agree with Orangeange that it's a name for a dark-haired girl. Really pretty though.

It's - well, quite a burden to carry.

What are the implications of naming your kid after a country?

Ok - my DS has a very traditional set of Irish first, middle and surnames. But his Dad is Irish. And we didn't call him Erin.

What does "India" MEAN to you all as a family? Do you have roots/connections with India as a place?

Will it mean the same to you in 30 years time?

Or is it just a nice "sound"?

Imagine running after her in a few years in the shopping centre shouting "India! India!"

I like Anoushka much more.

lol at "I have to go and feed India" sounding like a humanitarian mission.

I don't like it. I knew a woman with an India and she was v. annoying.

one of my close friends had a baby girl india [sadly stillborn] but its a really pretty name

I like India and also Indiana.

Nothing wrong with India it is a pretty name.Go for it if you like it.
