Baby sister to Leela

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all - we are looking for a same for [name_f]Leela[/name_f]'s baby sister. I like feminine names. We would like it to be easy to pronounce across cultures, especially the US and [name_f]India[/name_f]. We don’t want a “top 10” very common name. Our last name has J’s in it, so most names with G or J don’t sound right. And I’m struggling because all the girl names I’m liking are sounding too close to [name_f]Leela[/name_f] for me! Thanks for helping me brainstorm!

I don’t know many [name_f]Indian[/name_f] names but immediately what came to mind was [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] and [name_f]Talia[/name_f]. [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] would work as well although it’s not one of my favorites. [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] or [name_f]Farrah[/name_f]. [name_u]Raja[/name_u] or [name_f]Raya[/name_f] ([name_f]Mariah[/name_f]). [name_f]Hope[/name_f] that’s helpful!

I’m not totally sure all of these names would be easily pronounceable in [name_f]India[/name_f] but here’s a few suggestions:

[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Odessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
[name_u]Zola[/name_u]
[name_f]Annika[/name_f]
[name_f]Elka[/name_f]
[name_f]Essie[/name_f]
[name_u]Romy[/name_u]
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u]/[name_f]Arielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]

[name_f]Amara[/name_f] was the first name that came to mind.
