The Malayali Christian name formula revealed!
It has been a well kept secret for eons, but finally Itty Boben JacobElias Kuruvilla from Pazhookaville, near Thelmasherry, Kerala hasconsented to let us publish this classified Mallu formula, on thenaming of Mallu Christian kids.
1. Select a combination of both the mother's and father's names. eg:Suresh and Sharon = Susha, or Joseph and Beena = Jobi.
2. The addition of a 'mon' (meaning son) or 'mol' (meaning daughter)is optional. eg: Sushamol, Jobimon
3. To attach a modern anglicised feel to the names, the mol or mon canbe replaced with boy or girl. eg: Jobiboy, Sushagirl.
4. For the politically correct Keralite family, mol and mon can bereplaced by the universal 'kutty'(child), which can be used for bothboys and girls! eg: Jokutty, Susikutty
Even parents having combination names can still give their childrensuitable names eg: Libi and Jobi = LijoHowever, in the scenario where the parents already have combinationnames that cannot form more comprehensible child names. eg: Itty andAmukutty, would produce only Itam (which doesn't even sound like aname), or Amit (which is like Northie and stuff!!!!), then:
a. Use an English word like Baby, Merry, Titty, Pearly, Smiley, Anarchy, etc.
b. Use a combination of two English names that you think sound cool(but never cool enough) like Meredith + Gina = Megi, or Sharon +Darlene = Sharlene
c. Use a name from the Bible (and not Nebuchadnezzar! Use one thateven Velliammachi can pronounce!) like Jacob, Sam, John, Joseph,Mathew, or Jijo!
d. Use a name that sounds like a cuss word but isn't. eg: Boben,Prussy, Shagi, JustinTimberlake etc.
Note: The use of the letter 'j' is useful in the naming of siblingwhere names that sound alike are a novelty. eg: Ajji, Sajji, Majji,Bhajji and Nimajji, or Sijo, Lijo, Jijo, Anjo, Panjo, Banjo.

This seems to be similar to the way Chinese and Japanese method of naming their kids.... did u know how? It seems that they drop a vessel and whatever sounds come out of that vessel is the name of the kid. Seems innovative, ain't it?
ReplyDeleteYeah ;-) I've heard of it... if the vessel makes a ting sound his name will be Ting Chang... and if the vessel makes a tong sound his name will be Tong Chang! hee hee
