My college bf was Hindu and Jewish. His name was Avi. His daughters are Mona, Mira and Maya. I like those names.

Looking ideally for names that are actually used by both Jews and Indians, not just names from one culture that 'are also words' in another.

I see a metric fuckton of south asian/jewish couples around DC, so I can't be the only person pondering this question. ;p


I like Mira and Maya.


Love Mira- and I think Maya is lovely too.

Go with Avi.

Trust me.


Would it matter which person in the couple is Jewish or Hindu for name purposes? I guess if the kid will take the father's last name and that will suggest one background, you may lean more towards the other for the first name?
