Can you imagine the number of kids that have grown up watching Free Willy :-) Me thinks the director has a cooky sense of humour there..

it is funny because its true. i have a friend with the most ridiculous name resulting from step 1.

themadman October 18 2005, 18:24:55 UTC

I think we all know someone like that. :D

I wonder if some of these people go through life hating their parents. Have you heard of "Titty Thomas"? Imagine a name like that.

madhav October 19 2005, 02:55:12 UTC

I have a friend named Titty Jacob. Since he hasn't stepped out of Kerala much, he doesn't complain.

Titty??? Hahhaaahaha! That is hilarious!

OMG..only a mallu will know how true this is!

themadman October 18 2005, 18:22:10 UTC

Aye, we do, don't we? ;)

I have a Jisha and Jineesh in my extended family.

notanangel78 January 10 2008, 15:47:33 UTC

And I have cousins called Jisha and Jidu :)

Hey if I called my kid Jarom it wouldn't be so bad. I'm not Mallu though.

themadman October 18 2005, 18:23:34 UTC

Jarom sounds like an illiterate person pronouncing 'germ'. ;)

arucard2 October 18 2005, 22:52:45 UTC

Literate person pronouncing 'germ', and burping at the same time. :)

dianaparadise October 19 2005, 09:52:45 UTC

Now you've spoiled it for me :( Oh well back to the drawing board.

Religion apart, there's politics. Consider these stalwarts who happened to be born into hardcore communist families...

But the Cultural Centre director is named Rathish C. Nair!

For all we know, his middle name could be Chernenkov. :)
