Sibling suggestions

[gregariouspeach.livejournal.com]

My husband is sick of me harassing him about our next baby's name (namely because we're not even pregnant!). I still love to think about what he/or she may be called and wanted to have some suggestions. I am currently working on a list so that when those two pink lines do appear, I'll have a lot to chose from.

So I guess what I am asking is: What names do you think go with Priya Grace?

For the record, our surname is Brizuela (Briz-way-lah). We're quite big on the meanings of names, so hit me with some ones you know which have a nice meaning. Unusual or foreign names are also good.

Maya is my all time favorite name. It means "illusion" in my language and for some god forsaken reason I find that SO attractive. =]

What language is that?

It is a lovely name and it rolls of the tongue so nicely.

she never replied so i'm going to assume it's Hindi (especially with the fellow Bollywood icon). Maybe it's true in other Indian languages as well, but Maya is a Hindi/Sanskrit term which also happens to be heavily associated with the goddesses who are known to rule over Maya ("the cosmic illusion" that is reality).

My name, Ameya (uh-MAY-uh) is pretty close to amaya/uh-my-uh, which is the opposite of maya (add a to a word to make it it's opposite in sanskrit) so i get called that all the time, so maya kinda feels like my nickname, heh. Mine means "limitless" though :D

Oh also, i don't know how much it matters to you, but Maya is super common these days. I know a lot of young girls with the name, none of which are actually Indian. lol.

The suggestions are great! My husband LOVES Maya and I like Asha. How do you pronounce Bhavani?

Sorry i'm answering all your questions people haven't gotten back to you on! heh. Bha- aspirated, so say a "Ha" at the back of your mouth with a B in front of it. In hindi you wouldn't put much emphasis on the second a most likely, so as long as you don't say Bhavaani, you'd be okay. ^_^
