People from non-European backgrounds are (or were until recently) expected to use European names, at least here in the U.S. I don't see why it can't work the other way around as well. Why should Sanskritters get all the good names any way? Plus, some names overlap.
Nikita is male in Russian, female in Sanskrit / Hindi.
Mina is feminine in both Sanskrit and
German (short for
Wilhelmina). :0)
