Desi Cartman Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 My dad always asks "your good name ?" and I think its just polite . I just ask ..."kaun hai be tu"

Guest HariSampath Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 "Good name is british"....as can been seen from various statements like "would you step this way , good sir" etc. But " you are welcome is certainly" American

Gambit Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 @ OP. 'Your good name' is quite common in India. So are 'anyways'(sounds so jarring), 'most welcome', 'mention not', 'i will tell to him about you'.
