I really like
Asha. I heard a girl being called this in a shop once and it stuck in my mind. (I think she was probably African). I also like
Imani, Thandie and
Zola (as in
Zola Budd the South African barefoot runner from the '80s). I have
Nia on my PNL but as a Welsh name. I've come across several black women called
Addie, presumably short for
Adisa which is nice.
