| ||
| | |
| Pleomorphous December 4, 2003 06:51 AM PST That was not funny | ||

| | |

| ||
| | |
| Ms.Madmax December 3, 2003 06:59 AM PST LOL. I'm sorry but I'm also out of intelligent comments. Not that I ever made them. LOL. But when I start me new blog, can I name your link Venkatasubbalakshmi ? LOL. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Somersault December 3, 2003 04:16 AM PST i think that happens a lot with Sikhs since most of their names r unisex. but...err... Jaideep? :-/ | ||
| ||
| | |
| Pleomorphous December 2, 2003 11:30 PM PST You know very well what that look was all about. And for my identity crisis, everybody knows me as Morphie. So if I change from my real name to Polymorphix, to Polymorphicus to Pleomorphous, it's still me :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha December 2, 2003 09:41 PM PST U better change the lilac/lavender color of ur blog..otherwise I'll think u are a girl with a masculine name. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Matrix December 2, 2003 09:32 PM PST My parents n all other folks were all set to put me thru the same...having a unisex name...however sanity prevailed with one of my aunts n I've a masculine name... | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha December 2, 2003 07:58 PM PST Pleo: You shud be the one who should be more concerned about this name phenomenon. You have a huge identity crisis. Whats the knowing look all about..doesnt suit your Sindhi image. | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha December 2, 2003 07:54 PM PST Chimp: Glad I cud be of service. Wandy: Oye! Gimme fi! Having fun and all eh? Blogging se bach na saki tu! Anyways, got a lil carried away seeing u. Yeah Kiran, Kranti, Keerti...and many more. My friends had a problem going home and confessing they had a girlfriend called me. They wud stress on the GIRL so that their parents wont have doubts. Luna/Krithika: Man, you cud have posted this as a separate post on your blog. Its cool...did u just make that whole thing up? Any y Luna? EC: yem artha avaledu. But I popped out before they came up with a name. Patrix: Sab ka teka thodi hum le sakte hain? BPL will find a way. Filler man: I am at a loss of words for this wonderful analogy. It didn't flow into my cranium. Me and you in different planes suddenly (wonder of wonders) Speed: Good thing someone finds this whole thing cute. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Pleomorphous December 2, 2003 07:49 PM PST *Gives a knowing look and grins* | ||
| ||
| | |
| speed December 2, 2003 06:36 PM PST I wonder what your name could be...I actually kinda think that unisex names are cute. That is, when a girl's name sounds like a guy's, not the other way round. | ||
| ||
| | |
| The filler man December 2, 2003 05:47 PM PST Alpha is not unisex, its a male name. Haven't you heard of terms like "the alpha male". Ever heard of an "alpha female"? I used to think alpha is female, since the convention is ladies first, and alpha is the first letter of the alphabet. However, I had a prof. in undergrad called alpha (he taught applied thermodynamics, ... maybe I should say tried to teach, sorry... I digress). So I guess you are right... should not be a problem living as you are in Chicago. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix December 2, 2003 02:23 PM PST aaiyoo! you are right...lekin apne BPL aur Videocon ka kya hoga??? and congrats! now your comment board has become a full-fledged blog for someone | ||

Luna !!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....u DARE call the GOD of cricket a fool ?!!!! .....ai khulayat ...kahan hai meri talwaaaaaaaaaar ?! unisex names are useful for only those parents who do not predetermine the sex of their child | ||

| | |
| Luna Lovegood December 2, 2003 10:49 AM PST Alpha I am really sorry to have given such a large comment.I hope you don't really mind.By the way alpha, is your name 'Alpha'?I had to rack my brains really hard all night before I finally think I had got it. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Luna Lovegood December 2, 2003 10:37 AM PST Dear Alpha I know what it feels not to have a unisex name.But each person has his/her own opinion. When asked"How should a child be named?" the following were the names I garnered, Aristotle:According to the Namus theorem,the name of a person is equal to the square of the parent's mood and the time of date of birth. Einstein:When a baby is born the probability of naming the child as a male or a female is directly proportional to the parent's mood and inversely proportional to other people's suggestions.It is independent of the baby's gender. Newton:The child should be thrown to the skies.Depending on the velocity with which he reaches the ground he should be named.If the baby dies the baby should be named 0MS-2(zero accl.) Vajpayee:If the child is a male he should be named Father India and if it is a girl,she should be named Mother India.Their children should be named Son India and Daughter India respectively.(Clapping by audience) Laloo Prasad Yadav:All Indians are my brothers and sisters and the one ones that I marry are my wives.(this is the only thing that he knows in Inglipish) Bill Clinton:Whose children?(good question) Osama bin Laden:By God's Grace, all should be named Terrorist no:1.Terrorist no:2,Terrorist no:3 etc.(attaterrorist osama!) Sachin Tendulkar:A child should be named based on the number of times he or she smiles per hour.(why try to advertise even here ,the fool) J.K.Rowling:He or she should be named according to their own destinies because a person is judged only by the decisions he makes in times of troubles and problems.Moreover Voldemort's back;so all of them should stop giving names and children should collectively be called Bumblebee's Army.(completely wacko) Salman Khan:That depends on the type of mother that the baby is born to.But my son will be called 'Salmani Khan a.k.a. Muscles' and daughter 'Salmania Khan a.k.a. Muscly'(more souds like maccher and machili) Luna Lovegood:I am not going to marry so it doesn't actually matter.I don't mind my name being called Luna or TVS or HONDA or whatever. | ||

| | |
| wandy December 2, 2003 10:32 AM PST its like i have a friend ~ Kiran...incidently belongs to the male gender instead of the female..had the hardest time trying to kep track of that...:) hope u are doing good...me having loads of fun..take care!! | ||
| ||
| | |
| chimp December 2, 2003 10:24 AM PST hey thats what excatly i feel abt my name too...u just posted my very thoughts....cool....the problem with my name was not the gender but more of pronouncing it rite.....i had o suffer 10 long yeards.....but i do love my name | ||
| ||
| | |
| Pleomorphous December 2, 2003 10:20 AM PST The Sindhi connection is your imagination. I was a Gaul first, later switched over to being a Roman. So Italian, not Sindhi. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Pleomorphous December 2, 2003 10:14 AM PST It's Prerona not Prerna. One of these days I must speak to 'mia sorello' to see if I got my pronounciation correct *grin* | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha December 2, 2003 09:57 AM PST MWPG: aha! I hope your name turns out unisex too.. Patrix: I think 'your' Samsung was a product of the union of 'my' Sony & Sanyo. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix December 2, 2003 09:53 AM PST isn't it always a struggle to be in ur good books??? anyways I had this friend Samson...the "ghaatis" around us instantly rechristened him Samsung...unisex names are still better, but I guess inanimate names are a class apart | ||
| ||
| | |
| man with pet goat December 2, 2003 09:35 AM PST Woman who has uni-sex name also has uni-sex tendencies. | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha December 2, 2003 09:32 AM PST Star: In India, I think Punjabis and Mallu Christians take the cake for naming their babies anything and evrything. I had a friend Sony dating a guy Sanyo. Not Japaneese. Krithika: Soon dear..soon. Just set the alarm to next year. another clue:there's an elf in the middle of the ace. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Krithika December 2, 2003 09:12 AM PST And when is the guessing game about to start exactly? Tell me it's very soon. And a greek name starting with A? What would that be? I'm dumb, give me on more clue. | ||
| ||
| | |
| star December 2, 2003 08:53 AM PST For the record, I do know how to spell FEMININE .... I dont know who ate all my N's in the previous comment... | ||
| ||
| | |
| star December 2, 2003 08:51 AM PST also, by the same token, names ending in der eg: Parminder, Gaginder, Jasminder are masculine to me ... but they are feminie names in India .... so really ... there is no such thing as femine and masculine names ... they're all uni-sex .... this also gives me an excuse to name my baby girl James. | ||
| ||
| | |
| star December 2, 2003 08:48 AM PST As a matter of technical speaking, my name is feminine only in Asia I believe ... rest of the world its uni-sex ... I have worked with a guy with the same name as me and it was always confusing which of us someone wanted.... But then I noticed alot of names that we think are horribly feminine are uni-sex here, eg: Tracy, Dana, Jamie .. etc. | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha December 2, 2003 08:33 AM PST Pleo: Yeah Jaideep..its not even unisex according to me. The other problem with your name? lemme guess, its a very common Sindhi name. Star: Yeah, my dad had a bunch of exotic dancer names..hmm..food for thot. oh well, male version of ur name eh? hehe. but still your name is an established girl name.. Krithika: Guessing games will have to wait till I come and meet you. But for now the biggest clue I can give is- Its a greek alphabet and starts with A. Patrix: oye patrix, thank u yaar! U got into my good books again. you call this fun? aargh! It was brutal man..identity crisis, being mistaken for a guy is not fun. Ricer: So its Prerna kya? Its cool. At least very girly. Madhu: I hope you wont beat me up. I was willing to bet on my life that you were a girl. I even was thinking, wow, this woman smokes and all. yeah, whats with a girl's name man? hehe! The best part was when this guy called Madhu made fun of my name that too on air (radio)..grr. Thats a whole different story. Heretic: Thank God you explain yourself. I was thinking you married Osama. Yeah, hope their kids are named approp. Venkat: That friend was a guy I hope. Yeah, mine is better thanks. Rebecca: You have a nice name. It should be fairly easy to pronounce. Amit: Man, how you hit the nail on the right head! My name is Hari Pattar..green stone..named after my green heart. | ||
| ||
| | |
| AmitL December 2, 2003 08:08 AM PST LOL,Twin.At least u don't have a name like 'Harry Potter',getting translated to 'Hari Puttar'..What's in a name,after all?BTW,Vasavadutta is not such a bad name.In fact,even Alpha,could be changed to Alphi???Er,ah... | ||
| ||
| | |
| Pleomorphous December 2, 2003 07:51 AM PST I only had two problems with my name. One was my some of friends calling me using the feminine version of the name and the other was... | ||
| ||
| | |
| rebecca December 2, 2003 03:11 AM PST i think i spent my whole childhood trying to make ppl pronounce my name properly...( 'ribika', 'rabeka','rabaka'...being some of the tortures ive endured) and being asked if i am christian,jew,muslim or half -white....and what not...but i've come to accept it as my own,unique name :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| venkat December 2, 2003 01:38 AM PST Thankgod, my name was not like that..but had a friend called..bhanu satya veera venkata vara prasad !..whew..:-))..think yours is better, what ever it is...lol.. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Heretic December 2, 2003 12:58 AM PST Gosh, imagine being married to a 6-ft long-haired bushy-bearded Osama look-alike called Kiran [Ok, so his full name sounds more masculine with a Singh thrown in there for effect]. :D A very close friend of mine is married to him; and her name is Navjoth. Scary parents and scarier couple! Wonder about their kids... | ||
| ||
| | |
| madhu December 1, 2003 11:35 PM PST Heh,welcome to the club.I have a unisex name as well and some people drive me insane and ask me why I have a girl's name.My reply is predictable.I tell them I did not have a choice,or,My name is unisex in character and he can name his son/dau the same thing.All this if I don't beat up the morons. | ||
| ||
| | |
| ricercar December 1, 2003 11:22 PM PST lol ... be thankful ... where names go - mines the weirdest - even indians cant say it right aur yahaan pein toh!!! anyway - after half an hour of struggling with getting the "ro" rolling right ... they will glare at me and say OH!!!! You mean 'Prerna' & star got called the "maleversionof hername" full vol at starbucks :)) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix December 1, 2003 10:42 PM PST I do love your name and am not trying to flatter(this time)...but imagine the fun u can have with uni-sex names...and i bet u have tons of stories lined up regards this... | ||
| ||
| | |
| Krithika December 1, 2003 10:03 PM PST Alpha, curiosity kills me. What's your real name? Give me a hint, that'd do. I love playing with names you see. :-) | ||
| ||
| | |
| star December 1, 2003 08:22 PM PST hmmm ..... does the fact that everyone pronounces my name as its male root count??? Everyone uses the male version of my name when reading it out ... When I was growing up I knew a girl named Bhavatharini .... I thought it was kinda exotic ... ya know, a name some exotic dancer would have .... | ||
| ||
| | |
| Pleomorphous December 1, 2003 07:21 PM PST Huh? Jaideep? | ||
