hi paddhu sir,Paddersji
I have a Two bother in laws carrying the name of Ambi and Mani
Our son and daughter call them Ambi Mama and Mani Mama..
When i was young , i used to go to a very relative's home; For the first time when i went to their home , they called someone...... AMBIIIIII, and i thought that some young boy would come, but to my surprise a Huge looking Uncle came out !!!.
Yes, Ambi and Mani are very common in many Brahmin families and their real names are different.
other common names in Brahmin families are ' Babu' Chandru, Pichu mani, Gopu!!
I know a few families where children are named 'ambi', 'chinnambi' and 'kuttiambi'!
In a family 'ambi' is younger to 'chinnambi'!When asked for an explanation,
Ram replied, 'The parents might have thought that 'chinnambi' will be the last of the siblings'!! :becky:
LOL! "Ambi" does suggest a little boy. I think the first son in the families of the past were called Ambi, but do correct me if I'm wrong. I'm surprised that Kitcha Mama didn't make it to the top. I know a whole host of Kitcha Mamas!![]()
I know a family where they named their second Child as " Mangalam" ( probably they thought of closing ) but after that there were another 6 more came!!
In those days there was no TV, Radio, or any other entertainment except probably...
I was the 7 sibling in to our parents, behind me another 5...
My father was a Post Master, and house is attached to Post Office where ever he was transferred.. !!
tbs Sir
I bet you do not know the siblings's name of your cousins!!
i have not seen even many of the siblings of my cousins!!
