Hi Ladies I was just posting something else on the other forums and thought about this one. As most of you are aware when we come to another country like US, UK the natives here cant pronouce our names properly. Like my name is Sravanthi and I had to cut short it to Sri, so that its easy for people to call me. I miss my name and its like having two identities. My son who is 5 years old was saying to me yesterday that I have 4 names, 1) Mummy 2) Sravanthi 3) Sri 4) Ammalu (My husband calls me with this name) Just curious to know if you had to cut short your name, Looking forward to your experiences:2thumbsup:
Re: Name change hi Sravanthi mine also was mispronounce during my childhood and here in uk finally my first name is said correctly. its Huma for Humamahesvary. i have also different id Huma thali for my mum, mavvayalu mum's brothers soeur means sister for my brothers mum, maman or mumly for my children chinni for my cousins pilla or Humalu for my husband and finaly and not the least Huma for my friends :wave
Re: Name change Hi Huma, Nice to see ur names, So atlast its been pronounced here correctly. Just clarify is H silent in your name and pronounced as Uma or is it correct in calling you Huma. Anyway, so u r in Hounslow. We r moving down to bexley(Closer to Kent) by the end of this month to become a proper londoner.. Hope to see more responses.. Cheers Sravanthi
Re: Name change hi Sravanthi yeah, H is silent and pronounced as Uma. is Kent near to Hounslow? bye:wave
Re: Name change Hi Huma, Kent is towards south east of London and hounslow towards south west of london. Its a 1 hr drive. Cheers Sri
Re: Name change Hi all, Nice thread I was called deepa in my house.Bhargavi is used only officially.In my house,when some one utters Bhargavi it looks odd.But i liked both names. My college friends whos are close to me call me as Bhagee:tongue . Since in Indusladies Deepa,Bhargavi occurs already.I came up with my father's name along with my name which is the rule.But i am proud to put my father's name following my name. Any more interesting members join this thread please
Hi, Nice thread. Here, in the airport they will pronounce my name like 'Sumti' and they will pronounce my husband's name as 'Sandar' instead of 'Sundar'. Generally all my relatives and friends call me 'Sumathi' only. Now a days my neighbours started calling me "Krishnaamma".
