Do you know why you were named whatever you are named? Like after a grandparent?

Names are weird. Annoying how every name is a world hash. Every time a new parent announces a baby name you get a glimpse of a world they’re seeing.

Dad knew I would never live in India so wanted a short name that was easily pronounced by non-Indians that started with R. According to my horoscope, R was my 'lucky letter'

Ha! Similar story here too. My mom has an aversion to nicknames and didn’t want a name that could be shortened. So here I am.. Though pretty sure that she might also have had a crush on a certain nominatively adjacent Bollywood star of the 70s / 80s..
