It would remind me of Imari but then I'm a porcelain history freak.

We chose that over Inari (from Finnish mythology) primarily because we prefer the spelling.


I have no idea why you picked "Adelaide" as a middle name, but I suspect you don't actually speak Hindi.

As I understand it, Anari doesn't mean "innocent" in Hindi. It means something more like "clueless."

For all the people saying these names sound Indian, "Anari" actually means "ignorant" in Hindi. There is a 1959 movie by that name.

Dude, I am Japanese and no it's not. Both of those would be mega, mega weird for girls' names.

I think that is a beautiful name. OP I like the rhythm and the pretty sound. If it works in your culture, sound wise, I would go for it. Ignore the haters! My DCs have unusual names and no one has ever said anything like the replies you are getting here.
