What’s in a name?

Often times, I have been irritated having to share my name with too many people. I wish I had a more unique, search-engine friendly name. It is infinitely more difficult coming in first on Google for a Sandeep Reddy than, say, someone like Laksmono Nattapong, Moon Unit Zappa, Fifi Trixibell, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily or even Sidin Vadukut.

Lest your children blame you for non-SEO names, all you future parents should come up with a unique name for your child. Use a little imagination and look around for inspiration. A cousin of mine named her boy Kasvik (short for Kashi Vishwanath, with a k thrown in for that little twist at the end). That is a pretty name and little Kasvik will never have to share it with anyone else, especially all those un-cool Kashi Vishwanaths. David and Victoria Beckham named one of their kids Brooklyn, after the place where he was conceived. Now, that is a very creative way to name your child. They deserve a prize for coming up with that.

Imagine naming a child climax, though. The parents must be beyond cool to be naming a child after how it was conceived. Come to think of it, it is a wonderful way to name a whole bunch of kids or a whole dynasty of kings!

  • Climax, the first
  • Climax, the second
  • Climax, the longer
  • Climax, the better
  • Climax, the unexpected
  • Climax, can it get better than this
  • Climax, O Yeah!

Can you think of any?
