Dummies Guide to Naming a Baby

0

I couldn’t resist sending this right now..so here it is …

Dummies Guide to Naming a Baby (MPNC Theorem)

One should follow the following steps before naming a child:

1 Size of the name

It should not contain more than 2 syllables. It will be simpler and easier for others to call out his name rightly and more often. Compare Ross (1 syllable) with Joey (2 syllable) and Chandler (3 syllable). We definitely love the first two more then the third one. Further, the name brings more popularity among the ladies (this point will be covered in details in the subsequent sections).

2 Number of characters in the name

The number of letters in the name should be adequate (not more, not less..but adequate). Whats an adequate? Glad you asked…Well adequate is something which is like a knicker..not too short when it becomes hot pants/ undy or too long that it becomes a three-fourth. So is the case with the name…it should contain exactly the right number of letters…tht one could easily remember. Next question here is ..how many letter then?..Well..how many letters are there in your ATM pin…4..maximum 5 or 6..How many minimum characters are required when you set up a password to an e-mail account…6. I did some research to find out the length of names from a sample set of ~2500 boy names…The results are as follows:
Number of Characters Percentage of the total Sample
4 2%
5 9%
6 19%
7 19%
8 15%

Clearly, we should try to keep the length to a minimum till 5 or 6 (maximum).. Increase the length and the zone is going to be crowded with dudes all over. Now, lets see the same result from a sample set of girl names:
Number of Characters Percentage of the total Sample
4 5%
5 13%
6 27%
7 21%
8 14%

Clearly the difference is maximum if the length should not be more than six letters otherwise its just weird.

3 Starting alphabet of the name

Well if some pundit has provided an alphabet than we are bound to have a name starting with that letter. But if we are going random about it. Then probably we can put our brains to use here as well. The letter should be chosen in such a way that it provides the kid with high probability of being around girls ..like all the time..(yes I know you are thinking that I am a jackass ..but no child of mine or my friends’ will go through the torture that we all went through in our schools….ever again). Imagine him sitting in a class getting ready for attendance or in a lab where the partners are chosen on the basis of their roll nos. (decided by alphabet) or in an exam room where the sitting arrangement is as per the roll nos. or the sitting arrangement in daily class …the dude gotta feel jealous of his friend who has a name starting with a letter which brings that dude more chances of being next to/ before a girl’s name. I think you got my point. Then lets talk statistics here as well…

Boy Girl Difference
A 284 A 179 105
B 107 B 16 91
C 82 C 75 7
D 144 D 80 64
E 34 E 25 9
F 34 F 13 21
G 77 G 63 14
H 81 H 59 22
I 58 I 52 6
J 98 J 73 25
K 130 K 151 -21
L 26 L 36 -10
M 161 M 188 -27
N 138 N 96 42
O 18 O 7 11
P 196 P 112 84
Q 5 Q 2 3
R 127 R 102 25
S 387 S 397 -10
T 93 T 88 5
U 43 U 37 6
V 110 V 89 21
W 5 W 3 2
Y 30 Y 16 14

If you can see this, clearly, the letters S, M, L and J (these are the letter with more number of girl names as compared to boys) provides him better chances.
4 People should be able to pronounce it rightly in other countries – I am too tired to build up on this..so understand yourself…
5 Surname should compliment it..I have seen people not using surnames as they grow up …I have never understood this fully but lets not take this lightly…its a family name…we all are proud of our family

 

Our understanding from these points so far – It should either be a mono syllable or a 2 syllable name with not more not more than 6 letters and probably starting with S and easy to pronounce everywhere and is complimented by the surname. Now the file attached contains the list of all the 6 letter names starting with S (along with meaning). I have not got time to further filter these out on the basis of the number of syllables. But I think you can do the rest!!

Poshampa bhai Poshampa:
Two people making a Gate structure and other kids make a line and pass through it… once the songs finished one of the person inside gate is taken and asked a question and accordingly decided n which team s/he goes. The song is very interesting it goes like this

ab to Jail mein aana padega
Jain ka pani peenna padega

These are few more games which are much popular when it comes down to playing with COLONY kids.

1) Chupan chupai (hide and Seek)
One of the players is given a task of seeking other players without them touching him

Similar to Hide and Seek, but here the police will bring the other team to one place and after then they change sides

1) Akkad Bakkad Bambe BO
Every indian play this game once in a life time. Akkad bakkad bambe bo assi nabbe poore so….

2) Saanp Seedhi
I always wondered why Someone always looses after reaching 99 first.

3) Ludo
Its the most engaging game ever. Can be played for hrs with spicy cheats :P

4) Changapa
You make a square matrix of 5×5 with 1st and last boxes of 3rd row and 3rd column marked as home. and the center square as the winning position. Ludo is copied from it (I believe that). Rules are same except here you play with “IMLI SEEDS – KUNCHE” split in two parts. there are 5 half slit kunches and if you get all white its counted as 6 and if you get all black it was counted as 10. further getting 4 black was a chance bonus.

5) Char Bhar
Mind Boggling game which requires enough thinking. Can be compared to CHESS. here you draw three concentric squares with perpendicular bisector connecting all three squares on every side. Two players can play with 9 coins each. Idea is to eat up other person’s coins. For eating up any coin one needs to make three coins in line. Very very strategic game. Why its called CHAR-Bhar? In hindi eating is called charna :D (normally animals do it :P ). and BHAR is when you have made three coins in line.

6) Chopad
The Mythological game haha… Played in even MAHABHARAT.

7) Chaape
Ever wondered how indian kids can play literally from trash … from anything. CHAAPE — MatchBox front and back covers. NUmber of ways by which one can play this game. Like Playing Cards, Like Gambling, Like throwing them in air and bidding (probability).

8) Tickdiya
Seeds from “Kaner” tree were collected and dried. after they are fully dried they become hard plates with thick edges. Number of games can be played out of this. All the kancha games as well taking tickdis out one by one from a circle without disturbing other tickdis. (from a lot of 300 400 tickdis… players would play for hrs)

9) kankad
This Game more popular among girls is played with 5 or 7 stones. Again Lethal permutations and combinations to increase the difficulty levels. for example picking one stone from ground while three are in the air and have to catch all of them.

Indian Games – Gilli Danda

0

This is the most amazing game Indians have ever created, far better then any kind of Ball game ;)

Requirements: a wood stick of 4- 5 feet (Danda) and a small wood stick with both ends sharpened (Gilli)

Procurement of accessories :
Steps 1: Climb on a tree or demolish a branch (around 3-4 feet) of some tree, remove the leaves – done
Step 2: Take a small wooden stick of thickness 1 cm – 2 cm and length of around 5cm to 7 cm. -done
Ready to rock :P

Teams: Can be played in number of ways! Minimum requirement of 2 Players.

How to play: Dig a small hole in the ground of width 4 – 5 cm. This hole is the starting point. Players will take turn by shooting Gilli from the starting point.

Case 1 : While shooting if the other players catch the Gilli before landing on the ground then that player will be considered out. and the one who catches will take turn. The idea is to hold your turn for the maximum time so that you can enjoy other players frustration and hard work.

Case 2 : Gilli lands on the ground. The “shooter” will place calculate the “Danda length from the hole in opposite direction and will place the “danda” on the ground. Other players will have to hit that “Danda” with the “gilli” from the point where it landed earlier. (Only one chance allowed)

Case 3. Other players miss the target. Here comes the fun part. To enjoy the suffering of other player you have to be quite experienced here. Shooter will hit gilli softly so that it bounces and quickly has to hit it hard so that it travels maximum distance. This activity goes until shooter miss the “Hit Hard” part. Now the “DISTANCE” Travelled by Gilli has to be covered on one leg by players who missed the opportunity to catch the gilli or to hit the danda. This is where one enjoys the hard work and frustration :D

Keep coming your inputs if you know any other of playing this game.
