[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a meaning perspective, I think I like Anya the best (though I agree people would also assume it's Eastern European etc). I might consider a different spelling for Raina, since I think it could easily be mispronounced (Reyna?). Have you considered Maya?[/quote] OP here. I liked Anya a lot too but although it supposedly has a Sanskrit meaning no one I talked to seemed to consider it an Indian name. Pretty much everyone associated it with being Eastern European and assumed it had no Indian connection at all. I love the name Maya, but I just know so many now that it doesn't feel as fresh and original to me anymore. [/quote] PP here, I know two Indian baby Anyas - one in India and one in the US! It is VERY common in India. And I agree, I know so many Mayas of all ethnicities (Indian, Latina, African-American, Caucasian even).[/quote]
