CHANGING THE NAMES!

Power changed, names changed; country, states and own places;

Languages are forced and rules, culture and traditions are replaced!

Colour changed; white, black, brown, red as in the rainbow shades!!

Sun rises in East and sets in West, North and South remain the same!

We don’t know when naming started, we see changes now very often

From nomadic life to modern living, people made this too many times!

The ancient people tried to maintain tradition, culture and family links.

Man and woman get united, society wanted to know them by names!

‘Mother’s a certainty, father’s a possibility’ community made the rules,

Man and woman joined in marriages, families had created the norms

They made a custom to name first son after the paternal grandfather

The first girl for a couple is named after her maternal grandmother!

First name, surnames, middle names, and first one is the calling name!

Surnames are familiar names: persons, places or anything for a reason

Names are considered important in life and carried for generations.

We note a few numbers in history; Elizabeth l and ll, George I to VI.

First name is a given name, surname is an inherited one to remember!

People change names after marriage, religion, language or numerology.

Some people hold names to respect inheritance and sentimental origins?

Cling to first name as it’s gifted, everything you can change except this!

  

          CHANGES DO HAPPEN EXCEPT CHANGES!!
