What is ironic about subha`s name? what would have been a better name for her?

Subha's name is ironic is ironic because her name means 'sweetly speaking' but she is dumb.

Explanation:

'Subha' is the name of the titular character of a short story written by Rabindranath Tagore. She is born dumb. The name given by Rabindranath Tagore to the girl is ironic as her name means 'sweetly speaking' but in reality, she can not speak because she is born dumb. Because of her inability, her parents think of her as a burden, the only friend she has is two cows, who like her are also dumb and Pratap is the only human friend that she has. Her parents make her marry a totally strange person. The only way of communication of Subha is her tears which are ignored by her parents.
