Really bad. I love Indira (in-DEER-ah), though.

It really grew on me in the past year because of my new cousin named that. :-)

I think the name India is pretty! It reminds me of the movie Gone with the wind.

I really like it. It makes me think of India Wilkes in "Gone With the Wind," but it's pretty to me. If it wasn't so "out there" and such an obvious place name, it would be higher on my list.

I think India's very nice, though I don't know that I'd use it. I like the nn Indi a lot. India Greer is a combo I rather like, though I've never been a fan of Greer itself. It just sounds really nice to me.As far as place names go, I also love London--but only for a boy.Array
Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped insides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight

I only can think of India Wilkes, sister of Ashley Wilkes in "Gone With The Wind".
Apparently it was popular in the American South in the 1800s.

I generally think that countries and continents are not appropriate namesakes for children. Sorry. Also, I dislike the extreme trendiness of "place names" - London, Paris, Lourdes, etc. If someone hops on this name bandwagon, his or her child's name will be immediately recognizable as coming from within about 5 years of the present. What sounds "lovely and exotic" now will just be another Tiffany in ten years.

Paris is also an ancient greek male name. Generally, names are being produced by various and strange ways. George seems very normal to you but it means "the one that is working/producing work from the earth-a farmer". It is an ancient greek word (I am greek) and without knowing some greek, you can not be found in the right path...

Maybe, depends where your from. In London for example the name India doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, I have met 2 grown women with this name.
I agree, generally place names like Lourdes are set into our timeperiod. I don't see it any different to the Victorians love of flower names :)Alice
