The Malayali Christian name formula revealed
Got this through a mailing list:
It has been a well kept secret for eons, but finally Itty Boben Jacob
Elias Kuruvilla from Pazhookaville, near Thelmasherry, Kerala has
consented to let us publish this classified Mallu formula, on the
naming of Mallu Christian kids.
1. Select a combination of both the mother's and father's names. eg:
Suresh and Sharon = Susha, or Joseph and Beena = Jobi.
2. The addition of a 'mon' (meaning son) or 'mol' (meaning daughter)
is optional. eg: Sushamol, Jobimon
3. To attach a modern anglicised feel to the names, the mol or mon can
be replaced with boy or girl. eg: Jobiboy, Sushagirl.
4. For the politically correct Keralite family, mol and mon can be
replaced by the universal 'kutty'(child), which can be used for both
boys and girls! eg: Jokutty, Susikutty
Even parents having combination names can still give their children
suitable names eg: Libi and Jobi = Lijo
However, in the scenario where the parents already have combination
names that cannot form more comprehensible child names. eg: Itty and
Amukutty, would produce only Itam (which doesn't even sound like a
name), or Amit (which is like Northie and stuff!!!!), then:
a. Use an English word like Baby, Merry, Titty, Pearly, Smiley, Anarchy, etc.
b. Use a combination of two English names that you think sound cool
(but never cool enough) like Meredith + Gina = Megi, or Sharon +
Darlene = Sharlene
c. Use a name from the Bible (and not Nebuchadnezzar! Use one that
even Velliammachi can pronounce!) like Jacob, Sam, John, Joseph,
Mathew, or Jijo!
d. Use a name that sounds like a cuss word but isn't. eg: Boben,
Prussy, Shagi, JustinTimberlake etc.
Note: The use of the letter 'j' is useful in the naming of sibling
where names that sound alike are a novelty. eg: Ajji, Sajji, Majji,
Bhajji and Nimajji, or Sijo, Lijo, Jijo, Anjo, Panjo, Banjo.
