Has India outsourced naming of its leaders to Ali Payee and Hamja?

Has India outsourced naming of its leaders to Ali Payee and Hamja?

NEW DELHI, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram will leave his job to become India's new home minister after the resignation of Shivraj Patil in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, the government said on Sunday.

Palaniappan Chidambaram :D :D :D

Come on, I like and am proud of my own Hindu last name, but this is too much. I really don't think that Ali Payee or Hamja could come up with such a name even if they got paid to do it.

I didn't understand the reference to Ali Payee or Hamja being a newcomer to chowk, but many south Indian names are quite long, and they also sound "different" from the ones that the Indian cricket players have or most north Indians have.

Malayalam speakers (Kerala in south India) are also known to speak very fast, especially the ones from Kottayam, perhaps to compensate for the lenght of the words? But that's just my guess.

Most of Chidambaram's childhood friends, I guess, would call him Chidu, and Palaniappan is probably his father's name. The convention is to prepend the father's name to the first name, and the husband's name to a married woman's name.
