Help[Opinions] Re: Maitri?
in reply to a message by Satu
Your first question is about you using Maitri as a mn. I think it's fine. I don't think you not being Indian has anything to do with it. People use names from other cultures all the time. If you are worried about using "her" name, then it depends on how often you cross paths. If it really worries you, then I would run it by her. If she's OK with it, then go right ahead. Even if she isn't, I'd still say it's OK. But it might alter your semi-friendship, so factor that in.
All of the names she is considering for twin #2 sound lovely to me. My favorite is Nehal because it is beautiful. Plus I like the subtle (key word subtle) alphabetical theme. Others you might want to suggest: Surya, Kavindra (then she'd have K, L and M dds), Aditi, Rohana, Yasmine, Kerani, Indira, Anjali, Lilavati, Amarantha, Sunniva, Asha / Esha, Aina, Suvi, Alma, Jada, Galatea.
Obviously, not all of these are Indian / Hindi. I don't know if she's looking only at those names. Oh, one other thought. You could show her this site, especially the list of Indian / Hindi names from the home page.
