I have no idea why my mom wanted the N to be capitalized, that's the way it is on my birth certificate. As far as pronounciation, my father's side of the family pronounces it with a short "e", so it sounds like MaNisha. My mother pronounces it with a long "e", so it sounds like MaNeesha. I answer to both. I never really liked the name MaNesha anyways until I got older. If someone can give me the way it looks in hindi pronounced both ways, that would be great. I'll just pick the one that looks the best!
Thanks for your response!
