Maya and Jyoti
Maya and Jyoti are my Chinese girl friend's two daughters, and her husband is a Jewish American.I wonder if there's a link/relation between Maya and Jyoti? Or maybe the parents just want to use unusual names... Because when they chose Maya for the first born, I thought it's ok, but Jyoti sounds a little bit "too much"... What's your opinion?Mom to Olivia and Aunt to Joseph, Michelle, Erica and Alex

Maya is nice but Jyoti is a 'bit too much', I agree. The only connection I can see is that both can be considered Indian names. But I find it a little odd that a Chinese mother and a Jewish father would want to use Indian names for their children. But to each his own. :b

I like Maya but Jyoti is a bit too much. I don't even know how you'd pronounce it. How do they pronounce it?In Sanskrit Jyoti means "light" and Maya means "illusion". Maya can also be a Jewish name that means "water".
