[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our first daughter has a classic and beautiful South Asian hindu name and our last name is a common-ish Indian name. I'm stuck on what to name our second daughter. I love the names Mira, Leela, Amara, and Aanya but worry that they are super common now. So we're thinking outside the box (I've always loved the name Elodie). Just wondering if other South Asian parents considered or decided on non-South Asian names for their kids. [/quote] My teen is named Mira. FWIW, half the people manage to butcher it anyway. See if you can find a name that isn’t uncommon in either culture. That’s probably your best bet for something culturally relevant but won’t be butchered. [/quote]
