Name the sibling

[hopeless.livejournal.com]

I'm not pregnant but my husband and I are thinking about a second child.

We have a daughter named Ria Emily. (feel free to share thoughts on that)

We live in India. I am not Indian but my husband is. Our child(ren) will however attend an international school and will likely be surrounded with more foreigners than Indians.

Any ideas on a name for a potential sibling?

Indian names tend to be hard to pronounce for others, especially my family. I don't mind common middle names, but common first names are not an option.

Hehe, the girl who watches our daughter is named Indira ;)

I like Kiran and Lochan. Maybe Kavita but I couldn't see myself using them, they're pronounced different when spoken by an Indian person and I couldn't imagine not being able to pronounce my own child's name correctly!

Thank you, it was really kind of you to search
