Mermaid Varaa, Mermaid Vasudeva, Mermaid Varshana, Mermaid Varda.
If you have an opinion, pick one plz :)

Varaa.
(That's the original sounding one, the others have "Indian Mythology, TOLKIEN!!" written all over them.)

They're all Sanskrit names, even Varaa and Varda ;) Indian-sounding was the idea, since my tail is very psychedelic, and Hinduism's beginnings are based on visions given to holy men by soma.

Well, they all sound nice.
Varda is Tolkien's Queen of the Valar, Lady of the Stars, so people might think of this if you pick that one.

I love LoTR stuff... I think you should do Varda. ^_^

I like Varshana myself...I have no idea how I would pronounce the first two, lol. Then again, I've always had a thing for names that end in -na or -ana. I think it sounds mysterious and exotic.

I like Varda and Varaa best, I think. But your tail is based on a parrotfish, no? So here's an idea (and it's totally cool if you don't like it): what about something that sounds related to a parrotfish's tropical reef environment, like a South Pacific island-sounding name? Like if there was a particular species that inspired your tail design, look up its range and maybe find a name related to that area?
