Within the past decade singer India Arie's popularity has increased the use of this name, and while it is still only ranked well over 4000 (#4571 to be exact) for girls, it has grown steadily since the year 2000. The name also has connections to the "indie" mindset of many hipsters who prefer to support all things independent. We love this reworking of a country into a girls' name. What do you think?

In the News: India / Indie
Yesterday in India, a prototype tablet computer was released that will sell for approximately $35, aiming to help improve education in India through technology. We love the forward-thinking mindset of this low-priced technology for students, and we also are loving this up-and-coming girls' name: India or Indie.

Love it! The idea of using countries for names opens up a "whole world" of possibilities. I'll be going through the list of nations in my head tonight...
Yes, a whole world...so funny. Now that you mention it, I think I'll be looking at my maps too.
