opinions wanted- indian names

daniellenicole26

My husband is indian and we would like for our baby to have either an indian first name or middle name.  Tell me what you think of these names...

 Vidiya Ann (pronounced like Lydia with a V) for a girl.

Vincent Balaji for a boy. 

 All of these are family names except Vidiya is changed slightly to make it easier to pronounce.  I had trouble pronouncing the original.

If anyone knows any other good indian names please post.

I knew a girl in high school named Anjali (on-ja-LEE) and I always thought it was really pretty.

Here are some girl names that I've come across in the Muslim, Hindu or Islamic sections of my name book:

Drisana (Dree-sahn-ah) -daughter of the sun

Sejal (Say-jull) - river water

Amina - peaceful

Samina - much praised

Faiza/Fayza - successful woman

Maisa (my-ee-sah) - walks with proud gait

Neha (nay-ha) - love, affection

Raja - hope

Rania - contented

Simran (Sim-rin)?-meditative, remembrance

A girl at my work just named her daughter Hala.  (prounounced hey-la).  Her name is Amina (I don't know if that's her original name or if it was "americanized when she came to US".  I also have two other guys at my work who are named Mihir and Ansar.

 I also like the names Avni and Anjali and Anjuli for a girl.

I knew a girl in HS with this name & think it is pretty and not too difficult to pronounce.

I went to HS with a girl named Amisha.  I always thought it was a very pretty name.  I also like Amiyah for a girl.

I love Anjali- sounds so nice!  There's an Asha in our playgroup, I think that's cute.

I really like the names you have picked out. And another vote for Anjali! (sp?)

I knew 2 sisters names Shristi and Shreya. Saying them together was always a tongue twister but I think they are beautiful names,

Sejal for a girl. Pronounced say-jul.

I like Vidiya but not with Ann. It doesn't flow well.

I really like Vidiya.

I have many Indian coworkers. Some of my favorite girl names are:
Preetha
Priya
Sathya
Vedha
Arathi
Aravinda

I'm not a fan of a lot of the male names and any that I do like are usually nns for much larger names.

I've only ever seen Vidiya spelled Vidya, which I don't think is hard to pronounce (not sure if that's the spelling you were talking about). It's very pretty. My favorite is Priya.
