He was at the age when digging one’s nose in the school grounds was not yet something to be ashamed of. Probably driven by the comfort level this accorded him, one of the boys picked up a frog from a pond, in the fond hope of adopting it as a pet. Pets, as my learning-to-debate daughter will tell you, can serve as great companions. Frogs have more sense than we credit them with, however, and made a swift escape that very night. But by then, he had acquired the name ‘Croaky’ and the name frogged him through college.
One may argue that his actions led folks to croak his name.
I have also seen parents play fiddle with their children’s futures by giving them unique names: Impressive names such as Lionel (changes to Looney) or Fourswarth (forsooth)
But to make a business of this: Maybe, I should just wait and watch to see the name being chosen for this child.
I quote:
Baby Ballot will create a list of baby names based on what’s trending and their sponsored advertisers, then post the final list of names online on March 18. Users worldwide will be able to choose one girl name and one boy name each from the list of names provided until March 22 when voting closes. The name with the most votes for each gender will be the name of Natasha’s future boy or girl.
I hope the collective wisdom of random jobless people on the internet will not lead this child astray.

I am surprised.
I know!
You write so effortlessly….
Thanks Nayana…
We had named our kittens Natrium, Kalium and Argentum – not that we were science geeks – just wanted to use “unique” names. I shall forward these suggestions…
Oh I remember naming Jayashree’s (future fictional) three daughters : Oceana, Gelena and Publica after an illuminating Chemistry class, but I should put that on a separate blog
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and all. Nevertheless think about
if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog could definitely be one of
the greatest in its niche. Superb blog!
Thankfulness to my father who informed me regarding this website,
