She was a pretty little girl. Dark blonde hair, blue eyes, pale skin... name of Priya.

That took me a bit by surprise. I always thought of Priya as being, at the risk of offending, an Indian name. It's a pretty name and I have known some lovely young ladies named Priya. But they've all been Indian before today.

Thing is, it is a nice name. And if it were a more anglo-saxon name, I'd consider it for a child of mine.

Do I have a problem, only picking "white british" names for my children? Or do you consider it unusual to pick a name from outside your ethnic background too?

Just wondering what everyone thought. Given that DH rejects names for being "too French" he won't be open to Indian names anyway, but I'm more interested in what other people think atm.
