Dear learned members

I am in my starting stages of learning Sanskrit and I am quite enthusiastic about it. We are going to have a girl baby in probably 2-3 weeks from now (I stay in US so I get to know the gender!). We are in the process of selecting some names and I thought it would not be a bad idea to request the learned community to suggest some Sanskrit names for a girl.
My only intention would be to have a meaningful name and to have a shorter and easier name for pronunciation (2 to 3 letters in Sanskrit) so that they are called with the same name instead of short cuts.

I hope this exercise would also serve as a means of knowing what is the meaning of each name and how the word originated from the root word and derived its meaning. Hope this would be useful to others in the group as well.

Dhanyavaadaha
Balu.

Namaste Baluji, 
Congratulations to you and your family. 

my suggestions - Anasuya, Manasvini, 
You can find these names in Valmiki Ramayanam, thats the only reference I am aware of. 

Good luck with everything
Raama

Balu.

There are a great number of names.  Most nouns can be feminised.  Many Hindu names have a Sanskrit origin.  You can try this site: http://www.indianhindunames.com/indian-hindu-girl-name-b.htm

Anaghaa is a good name. Not too long...not to short...means 'sinless'. Another name is vihaa
MW विहा [L=203166] ind. = स्वर्ग , heaven Un2. iv , 36 Sch. 'aa' ending indeclinable; I have heard it as a small girl's name.
Personally I think the name should be such that it does not need abbreviation; it should be easy to pronounce; not so scholarly sounding that it gets mispronounced. Although common and not fancy and fashionable the two syllable names like Uma, Sheela, Neha etc are good.
