Re: Some Indian names
in reply to a message by Felie
Lila (लीला)- Dislike. The double L is too la-di-da.
Tamanna (तमन्ना) - Fine but a little boring. The meaning is nice.
Seeta (सीता) - I prefer the look of Sita, but the pronunciation is more clear with Seeta. It is a lovely name either way.
Mukta (मुक्ता)- The sound is mucky, but I love the meaning.
Jyotsana (ज्योत्सना)- nice
Prema (प्रेमा)- I know an elderly lady with this name; she is a lovely person. Independent of her, the name sounds very proper like Priscilla but less pinched.
Sonal (सोनल) - dislike
Arushi (अरुषी)- Cute, but it sounds more like a pet name. It would be really sweet on a puppy.
Masculine
Niraj (नीरज) - I imagine this man as someone who plays at being sweet and innocent in order to approach others that he finds useful.
Sanjiv (संजीव) - A nice solid name.
Ashwin (अश्विन) - handsome. The meaning is a bit odd.
Pratik (प्रतीक) - In an English speaking country, I would avoid having Prat in my name.
Nishant (निशान्त) - Neat
Hari (हरि)- cute
Ajay (अजय) - Dislike the punk little kid sound, but the meaning is great.
Lochan (लोचन) - Depending on how it is is pronounced, it could be nice or make me think of lock on.
Surinder (ਸੁਰਿੰਦਰ) - It sounds powerful and the meaning is awesome. It might be too close to surrender though.
Navin (नवीन)- meh
Unisex
Kanti (कान्ती) - lovely in an informal and approachable way.
Swarna (m स्वर्ण, f स्वर्णा)- Makes me think of food.
Tamanna (तमन्ना) - Fine but a little boring. The meaning is nice.
