    Hallo everyone,

    Im pregnant and already got confirmation from doc we are blessed with a baby girl :party As we stay abroad i figured out during the pregnancy that we are supposed to have the name ready at the time of birth.... due date is 28. july. I originally planned to go according nakshatra and follow the traditional route which became highly difficult now...

    We are a mixed muslim-hindu family :)

    As per my traditions it is ok to give more then one name (some give 3) i was planning to give her one muslim and one hindu name, but NO double name. Her nickname is Riya so far (thats how i call her when i talk to her)

    I wud be very much happy if i get some good suggestions here on which name wud fit for muslims and hindus plus is manageble to pronounce in western AND arabic countries... its important too that there wont be weird meaning in hindi or arabic if from other language...ppheeeeewww so many tasks...

    I prefer names with meanings like strong, intelligent or beautiful... goddess Durga names are appreciated a lot too.

    All suggestions and opinions are very welcomed :) :)

    Thanks a ton in advance for every sort of help hugsmiley

    Note: please no comments about us knowing the gender, we are in western country where its allowed to get to know and we are very happy to have DD :) we didnt inform relatives yet about gender so i didnt ask them about girls name in specific.

    numerology is not unimportant too but not considerd main factor.... plus im not sure yet if both names will be counted together or its just the first one alone for the number...

    here are some i had thought of already:

    Saranya: means defender, giving shelter, godess Durga, others translate as protector (or Sharanya)
    Karuna: merciful, compassion, mercy
    Arunika: passionate, bright, life giving, red
    Lalitha: elegant beautiful
    Ariona: bringer of life
    Aruna or Aruni: dawn
    Ananya: matchless, unique, not comparable
    Anjuli: blessing, gift from god
    Sanjana: in harmony
    Soraya: pleiades star (arabic: al-Thurayya), gem, jewel - some say it means princess
    Aishani: goddess Durga
    ...... please judge names and continue list..... please please....and keep in mind will be two names (or max 3 but with just 1 - the first - she will be called by in public)

    ... was told that names with Shr... are too difficult to pronounce and will end up slaughterd
    For us names are like wishes, so meaning is highly important...counts for both names...

    I personally like- Amyra/ Amyrah (Princess). I had picked this out when I was pregnant but we had a baby boy instead.
    My friend (muslim) named her girl Alheena (I think it means 'ring' in Arabic) and I like that name as well. Same with Ipsheeta (Lakshmi), love the sound of this name. Anya, Soumya, Atiya (gift) are few more Arabic/ Muslim/ Hindu names that I like.
    Congratulations!

    thanks for the congratulations :) :) and thanks a lot for the name suggestions :)

    Amyra is great :) before i knew its a girl i had a boys list too and actually Amir was on it :D :D but i somehow missed Amyra, so thanks a lot :)
    Alheena sounds beautiful too, will add Anya and Soumya too to the list you think westerners might have difficulties to pronounce those? Any clue what Anya and Soumya mean? Will share all your suggestions with hubby :) thanks a lot again

    Edit: googled the names, here is what i found out about the meanings:
    Soumya: obidient, good nature, innocent, calm, serene. others suggest it means goddess durga
    Anya: inexhaustable (unlimited, boundless, persevering, unwavering)
    Alheena: Ring
