sandtest Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Surname changes onlee. Changing the name is in exceptional cases, when woman wants to change it out of her own free will. Also never came across any issue in changing surname. On contrary, ladies feel proud while using their husbands surname as their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 helps to have the same last name' date=' especially if you live in the west.[/quote'] Yes, esp in my case wife, kids and me have different last names. It becomes so difficult to make reservations over the phone or anywhere else. Every time I have to go "S as in Sam", "H as in Harry"..etc and when it comes to the kids/wife repeat the same 3 different times. 'Cause how much ever you change your accent, they cannot spell Indian names. Now, I understand why Jaikishen becomes Jack or Haripradsad becomes Harry in the west.

Lurker Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Is this still practiced? What's the origin of this name changing anyways Most of my friends had love marriages but then reshma became karina, sherrina to haseena, roma to priyanka etc etc. They were still called by their original names but why go through all this name changing anyways? No this is not a Hindu tradition as such but I shall now campaign to make it a Hindu tradition!!!! In all the names you mentioned, the changed name is so much more hotter than the original one(I mean which hot blooded man wont get tempted to a Haseena??)! Not to mention the fact that the chap gets to do the ahmmmm with two different girls, heck its almost a threesome right there! :thumbs_up: I say Indian girls should learn from your caste Rajeev!!! :two_thumbs_up: xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
