Okay, we are pretty sure of a little girl’s name - [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Anjali[/name_f]. [name_f]Anjali[/name_f] being a Bengali name meaning gift/offering to God. We love it.
But if there are twins cooking in me, we are being persuaded by the name [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] but struggling with the middle name, I am of Bengali origin so looking for another name that people can pronounce etc.
Would love your thoughts and votes.
Thank you.

[name_f]My[/name_f] opinions:
[name_f]Anjali[/name_f] - lovely
[name_f]Chandra[/name_f] - pronounceable yes, and I think [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Chandra[/name_f] sounds so pretty and elegant.
[name_f]Indra[/name_f] - pronounceable yes
Indrani - pronounceable yes
Nandita pronounceable yes but may get mangled a bit sometimes (for example: ‘nanita’ or ‘nandrita’)
Nalini - pronounceable yes, and beautiful, but some ppl may say nah-LYE-ni. A simple correction
Chitralekha - visually for an English speaker it is hard to tell which syllable to emphasize, and “lekha” will confuse people at first.
Sudeshna - pronounceable yes but rather hazardous (for example: soo-DESH-uh or soo-SHESH-uh may sometimes occur)
[name_f]Isha[/name_f] - pronounceable yes but not exciting
[name_f]Anya[/name_f] - pronounceable yes DEFINITELY
Ananya - pronounceable yes but a bit hazardous
Anouska - pronounceable yes but a bit hazardous
