Inka
The name Inka has been on my mind lately and I find myself loving it. What are your opinions? Do you have any suggestions for middle names or sibling names (especially sibling names)?

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—

I think that it sounds kind of cute. Inky would be an adorable nickname. I wouldn’t use this irl, though.
It's not horrible, but harsh and blunt.
Prefer the Inge variation, there's a nonsense song called Inka Dinka Do, so there's that.
It's my mother's half-brother's (Ukrainian) wife's name. And also a popular brand of instant grain coffee.
I've never actually heard of it. The Inca association is strong for me too but I don't necessarily find that a horrible thing, just not my favorite.
I've never heard it as a first name before. It reminds me of the Inca's and their rituals. I wouldn't want to name a child after that.
