I think it's really pretty. I pronounce it in dear uh. I think it's prettiest pronounced that way. As far as nicknames, I'd be a little creative. Something like Dira or Dia. I don't really like Indi/Indie/Indy. I also like India (not as a nickname. Just another name I like that is similar).

This used to be my name, and although it’s unique (and plenty of people will say so when they hear it), people often find it hard to spell or pronounce. I used the nickname Indie to help with this, but bear it in mind before you use the name.

I can't wait to use the name Indira for my future daughter after reading the lovely comments especially its etymological meaning of the name. Though not common in Ghana, I hope to promote its adoption after naming my lovely daughter with this great name. Indira is an answered prayer to my request for a baby girls name. Francis from Ghana.

My mother had another name in mind for me but then my dad decided my name should be INDIRA, no way around it. He also told me it was In-dira (in Spanish emphasis on the first "i"). I've been using INDY due to most people finding my given name hard to pronounce or follow, even after spelling it out. But after reading these comments, I'm proud of my full name and going back to INDIRA. I thought it meant SPLENDID (looked it up once) but I also love that it means BEAUTY. It truly is a beautiful, one of a kind name and I will be proud to say it aloud from now on to everyone when they ask me what my name is.

I find the name, when pronounced in English and not in the correct way, absolutely terrible. It's not exactly ugly, but it sounds so like the name of a snobby, I-am-better-than-the-rest kind of girl.

I absoutly LOVE this name. It's stunning, beautiful, regal and I can't wait to use this name. The correct pronunciation of this name can be both In-Dee-Rah or In-Di-Rah; but it sounds great either way.

Just for all of you who think it is pronounced "in-deer-a", it is actually pronounced "IN-thra". Sorry to crush the moment. :P
I think it sounds strong and nice even pronounced correctly, but not quite beautiful.
