  4. Loads of R names I like Ruchira, Rachna, Rohini, Ravina, Roshni, all female names. Long names like Rituparno (m) and Rituparnaa (f) are also beautiful but are less suitable as fictional characters unless of course the readership is restricted to the same ethnic group.

    Raelene and Radomira both sound lovely. Rebecca is a great one too.

  7. I'll be honest, LOL, they're all a bit weird. That's only because I'm not sure how to pronounce any of them. For some reason I like Randy and Ruby. At least, today they're the only names that come to mind.
