[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL is a Radha and counseled us against any names with “dh” or “th” sounds if we wanted them to be easily pronounced by Americans. Not sure if that was part of your requirements. [/quote] +1 I’ve got an Indian name with a “dh” in it and, generally speaking, American-born English speakers cannot pronounce it, no matter how hard they try. I’d also caution you about names with an “a” that is pronounced more like a “u”, such as Anjali (the first A is really more of a U). Neha? I think it’s reasonably common, but I haven’t heard it as frequently as Arya, Maya, Anya etc. [/quote]
