II can’t believe I’m saying this <div>I’m growing to like the name Neelam (never liked it before)</div><div>First heard it on the wedding of an actress called Neelam Upadhyaya to the brother of one of my fave actresses (Priyanka Chopra) thus they became sisters-in-law</div><div>I don’t hate nor love it: it’s a 7-8/10 for me</div><div>
The name Neelam is a girl's name of Hindi origin meaning "blue sapphire". It is said that if one wears a flawless blue sapphire, it can remove poverty and provide health, wealth, long life, happiness and prosperity.

what do you guys think</div><div>(pronounced nee-lam like how it's spelled)</div>

    I don't like it. But then again I don't like strange names. We live beside a house that is constantly getting new people and it can be rather embarrassing for the children and me if I ask their name but can't figure out how to say it, and every try they say no and repeat it. Especially for the younger that can't talk completely clear.

    It has a graceful, elegant vibe. The meaning provides the name with like depth and it being a blue sapphire is good symbolism. It's like your child will bring beauty and prosperity into your life, just like the sapphire.
