  2. Sapna says:

    I will call my daughter Pari. Really like the name!

  3. kuchibrat says:

    How about my daughters name : “Shreeya Ammal”

    “Shreeya” – a unique name refers to Goddess Laxmie (Hindu)

    “Ammal” – the last name of a Sri Lanka saint, Parvathi Ammal.

    To me its a blend of old + new..
