| I've always loved the name Zeenat, its a female name and I believe it means decoration and/or beauty. But then again I like my name Umbreen, which is also female and as far as I'm told means sweet smell, although strictly speaking its not indian

 | When considering baby names I liked Revathi (shortens to Ravu which I also like). But being a ferangee I did not understand this name was considered 'old school', similar to perhaps Mildred or Gretchen in the US. I still like it though. |

in some parts of india, a mixture of hindi and urdu is regularly spoken, without anybody knowing exactly where one ends and the other begins. | |

| Our daughter is called Roshni, which means light. My wife is called Sangeeta, but I just call her San which sounds rather less exotic. |

| "Maya" which means illusion/that which is not. I have always been facinated with this name, and hopefully one day when I have a daughter, I will name her that. Maya typically in hinduism is a feminine name, but in other countries, Maja (pronounced the same) is used by males too. The other name that I really like is Poojitha which means "the one to be worshiped) and an alternative of it is Pooja which means prayer/worship. This is feminine. -pat- |

The Farsi language was the official Mughal court language before the British outlawed it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_language urdu was born out of farsi/persian and indian language influences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Urdu not only does my argument hold, part of seems to get strengthened .. because it seems to me that india has absorbed a lot more from the world than i earlier thought.we could be having a similar debate about english fifty years later. the thing is, culturally and linguistically, northern and central india are closer to pakistan and maybe even persia than they are to, say tamilnadu. prior to partition urdu was spoken and learnt widely in the punjab, even written and read by quite a few. and yes, including non muslims. and the best poets in the subcontinent have written in urdu. | |
