Secrets of Malayali Christian names

Picked this one up from a mail forward. Thanks Venkiti!!!

It has been a well kept secret for eons, but now all has come about.

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 can be replaced with boy or girl. eg: Jobiboy, Sushagirl.

4. For the politically correct Keralite family, mol and mon can be replaced by the universal 'kutty'(child), which can be used for both boys and girls! eg: Jokutty, Susikutty.

Even parents having combination names can still give their children suitable names. eg: Libi and Jobi = Lijo

However, in the scenario where the parents already have combination names 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 that even 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, Justin Timberlake etc.

Note: The use of the letter 'j' is useful in the naming of sibling where names that sound alike are a novelty. eg: Ajji, Sajji, Majji,Bhajji and Nimajji, or Sijo, Lijo, Jijo, Anjo, Panjo, Banjo.
