[name_f]Veda[/name_f]

Those are my favorites of this list- I really like the sounds of [name_f]Asha[/name_f], [name_f]Veda[/name_f] and [name_f]Mina[/name_f]. But [name_f]Avani[/name_f]'s meaning is really awesome! Hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to, I think I would pick [name_f]Avani[/name_f].

[name_f]Avani[/name_f] for its gorgeous, unusual sound and wholesome meaning.

I like [name_f]Asha[/name_f], [name_f]Mina[/name_f] and [name_f]Sansa[/name_f] too, and the meaning of [name_f]Veda[/name_f] is great.

I like [name_f]Leela[/name_f] and [name_f]Mina[/name_f].

I love [name_u]Arya[/name_u]. It was in my top 3 for girls when I had my son, but that was early in GoT days, before it exploded. Not sure how usable it is atm. I like [name_f]Asha[/name_f], [name_f]Mina[/name_f], [name_f]Sansa[/name_f], and [name_f]Veda[/name_f] as well.

Thanks everyone! It’s surprising to me that [name_u]Arya[/name_u] and [name_f]Sansa[/name_f] got so much love. I would have thought the GoT connection would have made them lose a lot of their appeal. I’m not a big GoT fan, so I’m not sure I love either name enough to live with the “oh, like GoT” comments that would come along with them.

All of the names are lovely, but I think [name_f]Asha[/name_f] and [name_f]Avani[/name_f] are my personal favourites at the moment, I love that they’re not too popular and they have beautiful meanings.
