Any ideas welcome! I am British, DH is Indian so trying to find a name that is somewhere in the middle, that goes with her sister's name, Cara....we have a very common Indian surname so has to go with that too... very stuck...
thanks!

White British, but a Cara I knew had a sister called Iona.

Otherwise, how about: Lena, Misha or Anisha?

I knew a Cara at school and her sister was called Naomi. Love both names.

What about Nina.

Love Nina and Uma.

Also Anya, which is Sanskrit but familiar to Brits because of Anya Hindmarch. It means tenacious.

Mala, which means necklace.

The Cara I know has sisters called Katie & Eimear (pronounced Ee-mer)

Thought of some more:

Asha

Vita

Sashi

Also like Priya and Reya but they sound too close to Cara.

The only Cara I know is Cornish!

Dharma, that sounds like an Irish Cara. Cara means "friend" in Irish.
