    For some people their friends keep nicknames. The following are
    the nicknames which I have come across. Mr. Ganapathi is
    called as Patti Ganapathy. Patti is grandmother. His mother
    was 105 years old when she died. She was active till the end.
    Another Ganapathy is called Kambodi Ganpathy because
    when he sings for bhajan he sings Kambodi ragam. My husband
    is P.Parameswaran Iyer and in short he has kept his name as
    P.P.Iyer. So everyone call him PP which also means nadaswaram.
    There is a caterer who is called Karutha Raman . Mr. Viswanathan
    is called Karadi Viswanathan as he was dark. Mr. Krishnan is
    called Dr. Krishnan as he used to give everyone sample medicines.
    Mr. Ramchandran was working with L & T. So he is called L & T
    Ramchandran.

    These nicknames are quite common and an easy way to identify a person.. In my inlaws family they had nicknames for the entire street.
