“A female name for a male child?”

Maami has a lovely post on a gender-bender while choosing names for a new-born.

Sundaram Amannji came to the rescue. “We are the worshippers of the Ardhanaari. What’s a boy who is not bestowed qualifications of a girl in name or dress?” he asked.

“You mean a pink frock?” I asked.

“C’mon don’t you remember how Sundar, Kalyan, Sundaram, Kalyanam and me were all dressed in a cousin or sister’s frock, with earrings and anklets and khol in our eyes, and pottu and made to smile for cameras. And how those pictures ruined our chances to win a sensible wife?” he reminded me.
