Who Named You?

[Prerna]

In our family our Grandparents name me and my elder sister. My sister's name is Madhu she was named by my Grandmother.

From what I heard, a lot of persons named me. From my parents to my aunt who named me David, to some of my parent's friends.

 

[Prerna]

David is a very nice name. My first boyfriends name was also David, we were in school together.

 

[MamaFrankie]

My mother originally but I hated the name so I renamed myself in 1981.

 

[Sanjeev]

My parents named me Sanjeev. In those days people were not conscious; they used to keep the names they used to find a common one, unlike these days when people search names on Google.

 

[Prerna]

Sorry you hated the name but wasn't your mother mad at you when you changed

 

[MamaFrankie]

Yes and refused to acknowledge it. But since it was legal, there was nothing she could do about it.

 

[Prerna]

It's your choice so it's all good. Parents should not involve in everything and let us do what we want

 

[MamaFrankie]

So right, Prema.

 

[Prerna]

So right, Prema.

Thanks but it's Prerna. Parents should also change with time and should allow us freedom

 

[MamaFrankie]

Apologies, Prerna, I misread the name. And I agree with you.

 

[Prerna]

Apologies, Prerna, I misread the name. And I agree with you.

It's absolutely fine. In India parents still does not allow complete freedom to their children but things are changing quickly

 

[MamaFrankie]

I have Indian friends and some of their parents are quite strict.

 

[Prerna]

It's like this in India but in the past 5 years things are changing rapidly and now parents have started to learn and move with time.
