Hi friends,

We are having a baby girl preety soon here in US. I was wondering what name to give her.

Can someone suggest a name for her.

Thank you for your time.

Gurkha, why don't you ask you parents and your wife's parents.They will find a better name than anyone else.

 

finita

Khushi....

Juhi, Muskan, Upahar, Ria etc. are my favorite names 

Lemme first congratulate you and your spouse for having a baby girl in near future. 

About suggesting the name, I think you should go for such names that would be easy to pronounce in the USA and still carry Nepalese meaning. Some names, when pronounced incorrectly, sound so funny and loose their original charm. Many Nepalese and Indians immigrants have experienced this in the USA. It is really upsetting to some people.

I hope you will consider this while giving a name to your baby girl.

Congratulations again.

I agree with kali.keti something that blends east and west, but it's hard to find such names. I've seen some chinese people giving entirely english names to their kids.

I've seen a list of nepali (and also newari) names for boys and girls somewhere on the web, but couldn't find it now.

 

congrats gurkha

these are striking over my mind since a long:

1. MALVIKA

2. SAMBRIDHHI

3. SUNAYANA

4. AHANA

Usually a baby's name is based on certain suitable letters appropriate at the time of birth. So, I'm not sure if you and your wife intend to follow that system. Then parents also like to take one of the God's name. Or maybe you want to give her a modern name. If you are just looking around for ideas and since you know you're going to have a little princess....

My suggestion: Kasturi.  --M.P.

Thank you all for suggesting so many names...........

U are right kali keti, I was also thinking the same. Trying to find the name that won't be odd for her in the future...

But still searching................

 

How about Prapti?

Do you think Brenda or Brinda will be good? It is common name in US and Nepal.

What about Sujan (Suzane).

I like Priya, Priyanka, Asha, Nisha too.

Finally congrats that u are getting a new baby

Gurkahs,
                  Ok r u trying to find Nepali name or Foreign name, coz most of the time Nepali american parents try to give their child a american name. So talk to ur partner before u pick the name. many time i have seen a american people butching nepali name even though they can pronounce it properly.

I was trying to find the one, that should not be an odd name in the future............

I mean should sounds like nepali but kind of american..........

thanks.
