Names! its a way for people to identify you..so whats so special about names? People do have different opinions but i would rather say names are just names there is nothing unusual about them (though it might have sentimental value). But nicknames, well there are several stories behind nicknames. As I was going through my mobile contacts yesterday, an idea to explore into some of the popular and unusual nicknames of my class of '08 occurred to me.
This is from my point of view..so in case i miss out any of the nicknames..folks you are free to share that valuable information with me! My class had 30 wonderful people.Some names were quite obvious like Aparna was Appu,Chandini was Chandu,Dilna was Dillu..so there by giving a lineage of names such as Hari, Deepu, Lavi, Jos, Jenny, Suppi, Sush, Rin, Ujju and Swats. Some people were better known by their surname than their actual name; like Malli, Baliga, Kamath, Huller and others whose second name were given more importance like Judy, Kokilla(not many used it though). Some had their names modified like Seemanna, Krish(named after Indian Superhero!!!) while some names were surprising like Navya (cum'on that's true!! Kaveri till one and a half years we never knew your name was Navya!!). Some had melodious name like Niiiisssshhhhaaa.
Some had their names derived from the place they belonged like Dharwad Yemmeh(Ravi), others their favourite colour like Pinkie (Saran) , from Micro practicals Mestri (ya tats me..see i am making fun of all), some from animal bt like Adopted son(sorry Asaf), names like Kaka(Rahul) have originated by some stories created by boys(though i thought it was named after football player),then there is Jaz..She even had a junior named after her junior jasmine!! and finally one name whose origin is from cinemas all time villain cum hero Don(praj)..but one thing i never understood why people called him that cum'on folks he is scared of heights, waves,blood, cockroaches and i dunno what else!!!So ultimately my conclusion names
might be important but nicknames last for a lifetime!!!
