MALAYS:
About 100 years ago, Meleis had simple names like Awang, Usop, Mat, Berahim. The women too had short names, some were after flowers like Mawar, Melati. These days, they have evolved into four distinct themes:

1. Russian
Amelia Natashia Anessia Binti Muhammad Alif

2. Arabs
Muaz Ishaq Bin Ismail
Jannatul Humairah Binti Muhammad Shahir

3.Angmoh
Nurain Stephanie Binti Syed Davidson

4. Chinese
Wong Fatimah Binti Abdullah

The Chinese names had evolved too, I notice

Now they have gweilo front names(sometime based on fruit also) eg Apple Lee Pei Sin

But Indians I dunno

Last time Rajendran, now still Rajendran ?

I dont see any Rahul, or Prasad, or Shah

I help a paediatrician do some work and some of the baby names I see I legit lol. Very muhibah. Different races also I see got Aerith/Aeris/Ayris or some kind of version of that name.

i know right?
Khairil can become Khaireel. Naqib Naqeeb. Got see Muhammad Alexander also. fuck la your kid gonna fight in gladiator is it.
BUTO the pronunciation stays the same.

My 2 daughters I named them

(Dad's mum's name) + (mum's name) + (family name)

(Mum's mum name) + (mum's name) + (family name)

Thankfully all of them are Anglo Indians that were named by a Catholic priest therefore all have English, French or Spanish names.

If I have a son then I would name him (Mum's dad name) + (Mum's dad family name) + (his mum's family name) + (Family name) and the mum's family name would be included mainly to avoid him having the initials ASS.

Yea now names are very modern lol. I’m a Punjabi so I have Singh in my name but I’ve decided not to pass that on to my son or give my daughter the Kaur surname. Instead their names will be like this:

Their given name + my given name
Their given name + middle name + my given name

Singh and Kaur is just so old fashioned.

as a chinese, i want to remain the old naming convention/tradition

in order to know which generation you are from, either have all the children with the same middle name or last name

chinese name goes by this

Family name + Middle name + Last name

Lee Kah Sing
Lee Kah Heng
Lee Kah Huat

means all same generation.

Generalising things.

You mean like Gobind Karpal?

I have seen Russian + Arabs combo. Natashia Jannah XXX XXX binti XXX or something like that...

Singh and Kaur aren’t surnames.

Don’t you have a surname like Gill or smtg?

I omit the Singh everytime i write it down so i just have my first and last name.

Yea something like that. I’m just glad my father gave me an ang moh name instead of a Punjabi name like Gobind or Karpal haha.

No such thing for me. Don’t know there’s even such thing haha.

Calvinpreet? Lol

What? Lol i’ve never seen Punjabis without a Surname/Family name.

You know common ones like Dhillon, Gill i.e. Mohinder Singh Gill

Singh is just a middle title thing. It’s not a name.

Halalun Thayiban Syukriah Binti Puaih Hati

Wak Lu Hijau bin Wan Tu Juss

Superhero can't be deleted

Most of the Punjabi that I know don’t have it as well. Maybe we’re special lol.

Nah. Is a pure ang moh name. No trace of Punjabi in the name. Guess my father is forward thinking haha.

Lel maybe they (and you) just don’t know what a family name is.

100 years from now, all names will evolve into something like vehicle registration number.

Don’t blame me. My father don’t have it. His father don’t have it as well. And we all married Chinese haha. Three generations of it lol.

Aite, cool.

My name toh cheng kwat

Can't stand people that name their kids according to trends. Like now I see lots of *den trending

Siti Ayu Ting Ting Tang Ting Tara Ting Ti Keting Tang Ting

Are you ashamed of your roots?

Only him, every other Punjabi knows their surname (mostly comes from the village they originated from - Garcha, Sodhi, Toor, Sidhu, Dhillon and so forth)

Nazim become Nazeem
ohwai

melei name have been notoriously long these days

some have 4-5 word first names

topkek sial

oh so its referencing a village ?

TIL new thing

Not always - some have historical caste name (eg. Toor being Rajput caste)

Chines like to put "sophisticated" english like Shernice instead of Shanice, Vernice instead of Venice, Sherean instead of Sharon. I cannot brain

the worse ive seen before is Hazreel Dzoolqarnain.
