General Observational Expertise Pvt. Ltd. informs me that a shocking amount of useless thought in millions of mind and a nauseating amount of super-useless talk between couples- real or imaginary, married or engaged, expecting or just committed, infact homosexual and just about any couple included- revolves around names of kids- mostly theirs but not always, real or imaginary!!!
(If you feel like puking, I suggest move away from the comp. If you are only smiling, or imagining kid-names urself, read on.)
Anyway, to continue with the reports, this rates as a relatively high-rated exercise in the list of SENSELESS COOCHY-COOING things that lovey-dovey couples do. Names, and characteristics of the children about to be born in a few months or years or never at all strive for a place to be discussed. Names that are derivatives of the parents' names, or borrowed from filmstars and popular 'heroes' and characters, or from friends and relatives. Long names short names and pet names. God knows how much your, and mine, parents debated over the choice of our names! That choice is something you have to live with all your life, like it or not. at least in my case they came up with a short uncommon easy to mispronounce name, but I feel a sense of pity to see two year olds call themselves Miss Samarpita Yashaswini!!!I hope you like your name, do you? Waise just for a try, I tried to think of a name I'd like to give my kids, and atleast i have a name for my daughter ready, if I ever have one. actually I have a second choice too, just in case they are twins..=))
Can't say, is parenting that much of a 'dream project'? So many hours diverted from simple love to debates and other things, for the sake of kids who would turn out to be God-knows-what-kind-of brats! Another mystery of living, eh? but the one doubtless thing this is indicative of is infinite parental love. Even if they end up saying, "You're the cause of all the miseries of my life, the troubles of this home, and the issues in this family" to their kids one day, they love us. Lots...

So many of the names are borrowed from sportstars. Children are named after Sachin and then the parents do not feel too good when they start following the F-1 or Soccer instead of watching cricket.
It seems very strange to me.
The last part was very touching. I ruminate how our parents can love us so much. "Infinite parental love", it is.
crap
wow.. thanks for telling me their are people like me out there. I have thought about my kids for as long as i could remember. But i only think if I hear a name that sounds nice or is nice. My parents thought of my name on the spot of the ceremony. But i am glad that this name was the first one on their list.
Blessed are the nameless, for they shall be spared from useless thoughts.
No wait, blessed are my parents actually, but I myself can indulge, and hence my choice - Anaam, Anaamika.
An awesome post. You have added some great humor, and have yet managed to give away a message to the readers. At times, I can really relate to what you write. There have been times when I have thought over the issue of 'naming my kids,' and I came up with quite a few names. The last part of the post was what influenced me the most, for parental love is indeed infinite, and it is something that everyone vies for. The sad part is that, our parents wont last us forever, and that is what I really fear.
It's, as if, you were reading 'our' minds for some time now :-o
