We are having a baby girl, we are [name_f]Indian[/name_f] couple living in [name_u]California[/name_u]. We are looking for a name which does not sound too [name_f]Indian[/name_f] and is easy to pronounce. So far we have these 3 on our mind. Please share your thoughts.
Katrisha (Kah-[name_f]TRISH[/name_f]-ah) stands out to me as having no pronunciation issues, whereas both Risha and [name_f]Kenisha[/name_f] I think could cause some confusion (RISH-ah/REESH-ah, Keh-NISH-ah/Keh-NEESH-ah).
Katrisha is also my favorite because it sounds similar to the lovely and classic [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] et al variations, but less common.
On the pronunciation front, I would pronounce all three with the long E sound — Kuh-TREE-shuh, [name_f]REE[/name_f]-shuh, Kuh-NEE-shuh.
Of those three, I like Risha best — a little sweet, a little sporty, and doesn’t sound as made-up. Along those lines, I also like [name_u]Risa[/name_u] or Resa. Also @maryelise’s suggestions of [name_f]Rashida[/name_f] and [name_f]Aisha[/name_f].
