Indira

I think Indira is a beautiful name. It is elegant and ages well, and you don't hear it everyday.

Indira is such a stunning and underrated name! Its meaning makes it even more so!

I think it's really pretty. I pronounce it in dear uh. I think it's prettiest pronounced that way. As far as nicknames, I'd be a little creative. Something like Dira or Dia. I don't really like Indi/Indie/Indy. I also like India (not as a nickname. Just another name I like that is similar).

Gorgeous ❤❤.

So pretty. ♥.

A really pretty name.

This used to be my name, and although it’s unique (and plenty of people will say so when they hear it), people often find it hard to spell or pronounce. I used the nickname Indie to help with this, but bear it in mind before you use the name.

Indira is a stunning name!

I like this name but I'm not of Indian descent, so I can't use it on a child.

I can't wait to use the name Indira for my future daughter after reading the lovely comments especially its etymological meaning of the name. Though not common in Ghana, I hope to promote its adoption after naming my lovely daughter with this great name. Indira is an answered prayer to my request for a baby girls name. Francis from Ghana.

My mother had another name in mind for me but then my dad decided my name should be INDIRA, no way around it. He also told me it was In-dira (in Spanish emphasis on the first "i"). I've been using INDY due to most people finding my given name hard to pronounce or follow, even after spelling it out. But after reading these comments, I'm proud of my full name and going back to INDIRA. I thought it meant SPLENDID (looked it up once) but I also love that it means BEAUTY. It truly is a beautiful, one of a kind name and I will be proud to say it aloud from now on to everyone when they ask me what my name is.

Some nicknames for Indira could be Indi or Dira. I have a friend named Indi.

I am 50 years old and my name is Indira. I read all of the comments and they made me very very happy to see how many people really like the name. I love it and I live daily representing the meaning of INDIRA.

I love all the comments! My name is Indira Violeta, I'm from Mexico. After reading and learning more about my name, I'm happy!

What an absolutely beautiful name! And very rare. I love the combo Indira Josephine.

What a stunning name. This name is perfect for its meaning of "beauty" - it's gorgeous! I love it.

Beautiful name, beautiful meaning. My favorite I name for a girl.

I think that my-name-is-more-unusual-than-yours is better then I-have-the-same-common-name-as-a-hundred-other-girls.

I find the name, when pronounced in English and not in the correct way, absolutely terrible. It's not exactly ugly, but it sounds so like the name of a snobby, I-am-better-than-the-rest kind of girl.

I absoutly LOVE this name. It's stunning, beautiful, regal and I can't wait to use this name. The correct pronunciation of this name can be both In-Dee-Rah or In-Di-Rah; but it sounds great either way.

Personally, I think this name is absolutely beautiful. Normally I don't particularly like 'I' names, but this one is just indescribable.

This is a beautiful regal name. Love the way it sounds and the meaning. I would use Indy as a nickname when young, and the full name in adulthood.

The meaning of the name doesn't suprise me. It is such an elegant name.

I think Indira is such a stunning name and I love the meaning.
