I like shorter names as they're easy to pronounce... these are some of the names that I really like.
Pooja - Prayer Nisha - Night Poonam - full moon, also important day of month in Hindu calendar Komal - sensitive Seema - boundary Yesha - not sure what it means  Mansi - human being Megha - cloud Kavita - poem Aditi - mother of Gods Priti - Love or Loving Kajal - eyeliner thingy that they use in India Mohini - most beautiful (Mohini Bhardwaj - US Gymnast in Olympics) Meera - we've one here, a devotee of Krishna I also like Anjali and Priya a lot as someone mentioned before. |

You might like to follow the full naming procedure as is done in India - done through astrology and depending on the time and date of birth, they look it up in the scrolls and in the respective column there will be a single letter, and the baby's name is chosen using a 'K' or 'S' or whatever relates to that time/date of birth. For further info do a search for Hindu baby naming procedure. It is a very auspicious and ceremonial occasion. Just another thought for you !
