Baby names for mixed race baby - scottish/indian heritage

General Name Discussion
1

Hi all

I am looking for ideas for naming our second baby. I am of [name_f]Indian[/name_f] (punjabi) heritage and my husband is of Scottish heritage. We already have a daughter called [name_f]Amaya[/name_f], and looking for ideas for modern but culturally relevant names for our second born, sex unknown at the moment.

Many thanks!

Not all of these are specifically [name_f]Indian[/name_f] or Scottish in origin, but they seem to me like they’d fit linguistically with either.

(Some of these might just feel culturally relevant for me based on my experience with family and friends. Also assuming you live in a majority [name_f]English[/name_f]-speaking country so they’re tailored with that in mind, apologies if I’m mistaken!)

I know a set of brothers with this heritage called [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] and [name_m]Sachin[/name_m].

Thank you so much for these suggestions. We now know the baby will be a little girl, so any further suggestions that would be a good sibling match for [name_f]Amaya[/name_f] would be gratefully received!
