I agree with the anonymous person who commented -- many of you are judging the way this name sounds, when in fact, you don't even know how to pronounce it. It's not the name's "fault" if you're right ignorant about it, is it?
OK - all of you who made rather dumb comments regarding how you don't like the name are going off of whatever pronunciation you have the ability to MAKE UP. You can't READ sanskrit, thus you don't know how to pronounce it, so don't make those rude comments without knowing a thing! And just so you know Parvati is not pronounced at ALL like privates or poverty. It is a very beautiful name.

To me, this name also sounds like "poverty". Not a good association in my opinion.
