Why do indians have long names like Apu Nahasapasapima or some $hit like that?

Those are south indian names.

WTF do u mean by some $hit like that!! can't u ask politely u @$$hole... What's wrong with having big names as it is US we shorten it...

^^ that is not a real name u douche

lol...woooooow

for some odd reason, fijian indians i know have short last names like ram and siwan. whilst my malaysian indian friends have hella long last names, sorry i don't know how to spell

Indian names aren't really any longer than most average names.

I hear that some South Indians have longer names bacuse they take on the names before them (father, grandfather, etc.) or something to that extent (correct me If I'm wrong).......

Like the Thais...damn long names...

NO offense but atleast they are not as embarrasing as chinese names who have to resort to western names! Say Wu Ping!

Lol! I heard of this one guy who's name was Eugene, and when they asked him what his real Chinese name was he said 'Yue-Jin'......

not so sure how this post could be read with 'NO offense' in mind, but the same goes for the topic starter as well.

well, it was meant to be offensive and piss off the topic starter!

i guess thats 'yes offense' then. :P

i've seen long names in other asian ethnicities too. japanese, thai, and more but can't think right now.

I think you're right about that. Someone told me that once too.

Firstly, thats a dumbass way to ask this question and very rude. The name you gave isn't real as far as I know.

Most surnames I know are generally fairly short and only have about 4-6 letters in them. Mine has 6, hardly long. Some have long names and others don't, like most places.

Also, I hope people stop insulting Chinese names, I think thats no better, even if it is aimed to annoy the topic starter.

"NO offense but atleast they are not as embarrasing as chinese names who have to resort to western names! Say Wu Ping!"

What's your problem?

I was asking a simple question, If i was trying to be offensive to Indians surely i could come up with something better.

Your post suggested that Indian names are "some $hit", that is very rude.

However, its true that to make fun of Chinese names is just as rude, even if the intention was to piss you off.

the whole way you phrased your sentence was kinda rude. we all just assumed that you're not very witty.

Why do people b*tch about Indian last names, when Polish and Eastern European last names are just as tongue-twisting?


Here are some "Indian" last names for you that are short, sweet and simple.

Sen
Nair
Singh (pronounced "Sing")
Gill
Roy
Rai
Reddy
Shetty
Grover
Dutt
Arora
Das
Bose
Soni

and more that I can't think of at the moment.

I don't give a $hit if you make fun of Chinese names because i'm not a crybaby unlike some people.

Well you're the one who asked what the problem was. I mean why phrase the question like j@ckass instead of asking with a little courtesy.

Also, where did I make fun of Chinese names?

lol

everyone in my family has long first names, same "short" last name, South Indian.

Really? I don't think the example u gave is a long name.

I think long names exist in all ethnicities. For example...some Malays got very long names. Sumtimes..even I can't remember their names. Haha..

I don't know about Indians, but sri lankans usually have really long names cuz the whole grandfather + father name or something I uno... and like people pointed earlier, its just as rude to make fun of Chinese names. Every culture has a certain style to names, and as long as they like it, fine, screw off, no one else really has a right o make fun of others names...........

P.S. I love Asians names so much more than western names; every second person has the same frigin name

hehehe

I think Singhales and Tamils have pretty long names I dunno I could be wrong but here are four examples of last names I could think of.

Wijeywardene = Singhalese
Abeywickremsinghe = Sinnghalese
Tharmakulasingham = Tamil
Anupragulasam = Tamil

Grover is Indian?



I don't get the joke. Does Yue Jin mean something bad in an Indian language?


Eye for an eye?


A lot of people b!tch about their surnames too, you probably just haven't heard them.

Eugene and Yue Jin are pronounced the same way!

Thai like to take 2 or 3 khmer vocabulary and combine them as their names.

My full khmer name is Vijayjomrern(Vijeijomrern). Which mean victory and prosperity.

I know (or at least similar), but I thought there was some kind of hidden message in that because of the laughing smileys.

Yes. I don't know how the last name came in India, but Grover is a legit North Indian Punjabi last name.


Grovers are either Hindu or Sikh.


People are always asking me if I'm Christian or if my dad is white. It's hard for some people to believe that Grover is an Indian name.


Since the "V" and "er" is pronounced differently in India, maybe Grover sounds like a stereotypical Indian last name over there.

Ohh I see...so would it be pronounced like "Growair"? "Garowa"?
Sorry if I messed it up.

Vijay means victory in hindi too

it's apu nahasapeemapetilon

is it a real indian name?

i've only heard it pronounced just the way it's spelled, Grover...i havent heard it pronounced any other way in the states or in india.

i know for sure cambodian have short last names i know im off topic..lol.

Same here. But, I was just guessing maybe it be pronounced differently with an Indian accent?


I dunnoo.......Indians don't think Grover sounds American. It's only Westerners that do, haha.

yeah, maybe it's pronounced differently sometimes...






that's true, along with some of the other names mentioned: roy, ray, rai (pronounced like "rye"), jay, neil, etc.

Soft is another Western-sounding Indian last name......

Which part of India is that from?

why exactly are people making such a big fuss over names that sound 'western' ? ... western names have no culture behind them...I llike our asian names soooooooooooooo much better

U.P. I think......

That's because there are so many Western Grovers.

exactly, our names rock!

Why do chinese have short names like Yue-Jin or some $hit like that? huh?

Never heard of it.

I've only met one family with that last name, and when I asked where they got it from, they said it was their "jaat"...

Wikipedia states that "Jolly" and "Berry" are Punjabi last names......


Never heard of them, but those are 2 cute and short Indian last names for everyone.

My opinion its only your mind that is $hit, nothing in name. I wonder how so many other guys afford to reply your foolish topic.

Indian names are the best of all breeds.
