Thanks!

Have you seen Lakshmi in use? Or Asha, Lalita and Shanti?

Kanyakumari is nice but a bit long. Are nicknames used in India? If so is there one for Kanyakumari?

I also like Parvati and Arpita.

I actually do know an Asha. I'm not exactly an authority, but any means, but Lakshmi is definitely used.
