My daughter's name...

I'm 22 wks pregnant with a little girl, and we've decided on naming her Kalinda Devi Garza. Wasn't chosen because it sounded cool, or trendy, but rather because of its translation (the sun resides in the heavens) and ease for others. Not to mention, it sounded pretty nice with 'Garza'. While my husband has a pretty common name, Tim, my name is pretty rare, and I wanted my own daughter to have a name that, like mine, had a meaning to it. Plus, I've always been an admirer of Sanskrit/Hindu mythology names. Thanks for the opinions!

One person in my family a long ways back being half Indian doesn't qualify me as being Hindi. So, no, I am not. I am just your everyday person of mixed heritage who happens to have always appreciated Hindu mythology (before naming people ethnic names was trendy) and simply loved the meaning behind the name.

It's not as if she is fair, with fair features, being named Mineko or something.
