Love Jaya. Maya is nice too. I want to like Lalita, but Lolita and Humbert Humbert lurk in the background of my mind.

Jaya - pretty.
Lalita - I love it. My best friend was named this.
Maya - sweet :)
Tara - lovely, pretty common though
Chandra - as long as it's not said SHAWN-dra then I'm ok with it. Lovely meaning.
Lakhi, Nadira, Sonali - love, some of the nicest people I ever knew bore these namesAnother favourite is Shivali. I also like Priya, but it's the equivalent of Emma in the part of London where I live LOL :) so I kind of have a soft spot for Indian names.

I love Jaya and Maya. Sonali is nice too. Two of my favorite Indian names are Kaveri and Kesari.

I like them all except Lalita because it's too close to Lolita. Also, Lakhi and Sonali are nice but they might a bit difficult to carry for people with no Indian descent. Because of the-a ending, the others sound more international.
