This seems highly unlikely to me. The only references I can readily find to "schmoopie" say it is a term of endearment invented by the writers of the Seinfeld comedy television series for the episode "The Soup Nazi", which first aired on November 2, 1995. It seems incredible to me that a girl of East Indian origin would be named Schmoopie on her birth certificate back in 1986. This is certainly not a normal "East Indian" name and by its spelling and use on Seinfeld would seem to have to have a Yiddish origin if the writers of that show didn't invent it themselves. I can see how a girl born in 1986 of East Indian descent living in the USA could have gotten Schmoopie as a nickname after 1995, but it's hard to believe it was her original official name.
