Really? Male or Female? And did she laugh when you told her you knew a guy named Madhu?
One of my most embarrasing/fondest memories of my name happened when I was 8. We were on Air India, returning to India for an uncles wedding. I wanted a soda, so I went to the galley(back when we could get out of our seats) and tugged on the uniform of a stewardess (as they were called in those times). She asked me my name while she was getting a soda. When I told her, she blinked. Then laughed in my face. Then she turned to a group of stewardesses behind her and told them. They crowded around and laughed and giggled. One asked my if I was a girl. Another said I was very cute. To an 8 year old, nothing is more insufferable. I huffed back to my seat, to the sound of their fresh laughter in my ears. I asked my mom, and she laughed too. What'smore, I never got that damn soda.
So the moral of the story is, be careful what you name your children. Congratulations btw, If I haven't said so before.
