Names

Ananya is with her achamma. Last evening we were on the phone. She goes...
"Acha, oru kaaryam chodichotte"
"Ha, mole"

"Daddy, everyone in this world is different no?"
"Yes, mole"

"Then why do people not have different names"
"I believe it could be because peoples imagination is limited. Also I will not be able to know what another baby born at the same time as mine is being called"

" Why does my name's meaning not have anything to do with the kind of person I am "
" It is difficult to predict what kind of a person you will turn out to be when you grow up."

"Why don't you wait to see what the child will be like before you name them."
"How do you call them then"
"You can call them child and childo or something. The problem will be if you have twins. "

" mmmm. See sometimes if the parents don't name a child or call them by a nick name, and gives the child a name when they grow up, maybe the child won't accept it. And it could be embarrassing "

"Can I talk to mama"

"Yes, please. And ask her the same question"
