Indian Baby Girl Names

Names are related with a persona throughout our lives. Hence while naming our offspring, it is important to get a few facts understood. Firstly the name should be distinct and also spelt correctly. If you are firm believer in numerology then this can be considered while making the birth certificate itself as this will pose problems if done incorrectly. The names of Indian origin are usually very meaningful and it somehow relates to the personality of a child.

Baby girls are full of mirth and innocence. Their innocence is enhanced with their prattle and cute outfits that make them adorable. Baby girl names must also befit them as slowly the girls will be a personality of their own make. There are beautiful names that resemble musical instruments like Saanika, Shruti, Veena and Mekhala. Names ending with ‘ka’ were always famous then and now there are interesting versions like Jotika, Anishka, Nishika, Malaika, Mallika, Ratika, Pratika, Latika, Sanika, Yashika, Anika and Tanishka.
Flowers signify delicate existence and there are beautiful names that resemble flowers like Roja, Rose, Jasmine, Mallika, Tanuja, Rajanigandha, Mahek and many more. Names of Durga or the female embodiment of power as per Hinduism are very famous. The names exist like Kamakshi, Durgeshwari, Hema, Ambika, Rajeshwari, Dharini and Brahmi.

There are interesting names like Siddhi, Anya, Ananya, Shrutika, Shyama, Hasta, Hansini which sound nice and also very traditional. There are simple names like Jyoti, Puja, Anju, Manisha, Vaishali, Sandhya, Radhika, Kavita which are not much in use but worth the consideration owing to their meaning.
