Laxmi Singh, of course!
Manika/Monica, Sara, Anoushka, Anita, Ananda, Amrita, Rita ... that's just it -- even though Tuhina is not a familiar name, the cadence is familiar -- people hesitate about pronouncing it but invariably get it right!
But I have heard enough western names, in India, too ... the other thing is, most Indian adoptions are abandonments, ie, the birthmother has anonymously given up the child so there is no link to the birthmother or family in the name ... though in T's case our orphanage director thinks there was as family members took her to a hospital.
