anzha's Journal: Hidden Meanings?

I haven't written in here for a while. It's been due to be so bloody busy. Some external reviewers came through and shot the project full of holes...the exact same ones I yelled about before.

At any rate, my wife and I have selected a name. IDK if it'll stick. The first name is not common, but not 100% rare either: Aurora. It was on my list initially. However, then my wife rejected it. She searched through the names for some time in a book and online. She then got bent on finding a name through literary sources. She remembered an author she loves - George Sand - and looked up her - yes, her - real name. Aurore was one of them. Aurora being the yanqi equivalent, we went with that.

The middle name is more of what I am concerned about. That's 'Devika'. Aurora Devika sounds very good together. However, Devika is from Sankrit and means 'little goddess'. The reason for settling on that is that my better half's mother called her and her sister something like that as a pet name, but derived from the Russian word for 'girl'. My better half spells the nickname as 'devike'. My worry is that Devika might have some funky secondary meaning that might make people snicker. It seems a common enough name in India, but...any /.ers found or know of anything like that?

PS. Neither of us are Indian in descent. I'm pasty western European: Italian, Scotish, German, Irish, and English. My wife is Ukrainian and Russian.

PPS 12 weeks to go.

I like the names. I don't see anything on google that is negative about Devika, just make sure her initials aren't something horrible and it should be ok :-) I take it this is your first kid?
