I love love Rocky, maybe it's spelled Rahkee? I think it's Indian.

+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.

This is good advice. I have a t in my name that's pronounced th. It basically changed my name into a different name. I like it, but that couldn't have been my parents intention.

I think south Asian names are pretty, I especially like Diya and Saira.
