Inka
The name Inka has been on my mind lately and I find myself loving it. What are your opinions? Do you have any suggestions for middle names or sibling names (especially sibling names)?*LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS

I think that it sounds kind of cute. Inky would be an adorable nickname. I wouldn’t use this irl, though.

I've never heard it before but I like it!
It reminds me of Anka so I thought it was also a diminutive. The -nka part makes it sound youthful.Possible siblings:
Astrid
Hannelore
Greta
Elisa
Margot
Marina
Hedwig
Johanna
Rosa
AlinaBertrand
Edgar
Friedrich
Arno
Franz

It's not horrible, but harsh and blunt.

Prefer the Inge variation, there's a nonsense song called Inka Dinka Do, so there's that.

It's my mother's half-brother's (Ukrainian) wife's name. And also a popular brand of instant grain coffee.

I've never actually heard of it. The Inca association is strong for me too but I don't necessarily find that a horrible thing, just not my favorite.

I've never heard it as a first name before. It reminds me of the Inca's and their rituals. I wouldn't want to name a child after that.
