Re: India
in reply to a message by Lily8
India was my top girl name for about ten years. I think of it as strictly a GP now. I don't think it's trashy, and I don't think it's too closely associated with India Wilkes. As far as I'm concerned, India is the very best of the place names. I love it, and I love all the saffron-tinted images it brings to my mind.
I don't have any deep personal connection to India as a place. I've never even been there. That, and the justifiable accusation that India (the name) is an "imperialism-tainted relic," makes me a little uncomfortable with using it as a fn.
From your combos, I prefer Noah Sofia and India Serephine. India Eve and India Belle are both too phrasey for my tastes.
