Introduction
What is your
name and what may I call you?
My first
name is Ashok and second name is Panwar.
It’s very common in my country. My second name is associated
to our ancestors. You can call me by my first name. (I’ll be glad if you call me by my first
name)
What does
your name mean?
Well, every
name has a meaning and it reveals a story. First name means the one who
does not worry about anything. My second name tells how my ancestors fought
against oppressors in the past. It means
power.
How do people keep names in your country?
There are
some popular ways to keep names in the country I reside. People consult with
astrologers and priests before they give a name to their kid.
Mostly people have the names from famous TV serials, movies and religious
books.
Are parents conscious
about keeping names now days?
Yes, the
generation we have, prefers modern names that match with western people.
Parents these days browse various websites that archive
the names. Even they go for the suggestions of relatives before they
select any name. Gone are the days when names were selected within a second.
Do you think
name effect your life?
As
Shakespeare said what’s there in name. It has nothing to do with your life.
It’s all about your choices that impact life. Astrologically
names can be a deciding factor in one’s life. In my views, name does
influence one’s mind psychologically. There are some old names that
may make one feels bad. (for example
,there used be a name Gulabo for girl, modern girls don’t want this name
anymore. Yes if you give any girl a name –Rosy, she is happy with the name.)
Do names in
your country represent any community?
Well, It is
easy to identify people’s community they belong to. Most of the people around
the world have names according to the religions they follow. For example, in my
country Singh is title that represents Sikhism. Kumar, Lal, Devi, Kumari are
some of the titles used by people who belong to Hinduism. Khan, Ali, Ansari and
kaif these titles indicate to Islam. Desuza, Waugh, Lee etc are related to
Christian community
