Today we five of us were discussing in canteen about different names in the world.The group included two South Indians,Two Bengalis and one Oriyan including me.
It all started with Ujjwala one of the south Indian girl, she asked Anamika 'The Oriyan girl' the meaning of her name.Anamika explained that its the ring finger which is the meaning of her name.
Then we had a series of information flowing out from each and everybody.
People do not prefer 'Aniket' name since it means a person without any home.'Tulsi' is a name which is not found in any bengali household since the plant is always kept outside in the verandah or near the entrance.One more interesting fact that there is no Indian below 58 years of age with the name Devidas.
This is an interesting bit took from one of the CCD screens.Jyoti is a name which is for both the genders in India.
This is very little which I can think of.Readers are requested to add more bits and pieces of information to this blog.Thanks in advance
