[Opinions] Re: Names from India
in reply to a message by RB Constance
There are some real gems that don't get a lot of attention on these boards. I went to high school with girls named Kiran, Nusra, and Naureen (though the last was the bearer's middle name), and I'd always found their names interesting.
On my PNL (mainly the "Different Cultures" tab), I have:
Indira
Jasminder
Nasrin (Bengali)
Purnima
Rupinder
&
Azad
Hasan / Hassan (Urdu)
Javed (Urdu form is Javaid)
Nasim (Urdu)
Navin
Ravi
Vivek
From your list (that wasn't on mine), I like Mira (which I usually think of as a Slavic name), Harinder, and Rohan as well.
I noticed I have quite a few names on the list I posted that only have Urdu usage on the Indian subcontinent, and there are definitely more Arabic & Persian names on my list than "Indian" names, per se; but I unabashedly love Purnima, which is why I bolded her. :-)
I also do like Noor / Nur, but can never figure out which spelling I prefer: Noor looks more substantial, but also reminds me of "door" and "floor." :-(
