I have asked this question before too, what's in a Name? As Shakespeare quoted that Rose is Rose, call it in any name, it remain as Rose, the quality and smell will never fade away....

That is the main source of the movie of Mira Nair movie Namesake starring intense actor Irfan Khan and elegant Tabu. The movie talks about the generation gap and also the names given by their parents and grandparents.

Irfan gives his son a name Gogol, inspired from the Russian author Nicolos Gogol. Whose book once saved him from death. For Irfan it was like a second life, so he kept his favorite author name to his son. But his son did not like this name b'cos the Author had a very bad life and wanted to change his name to Nickle. That is the story line of the movie Namesake. How a name can change a person's life....Everyone have done a great job, especially the guy who acted as Gogol will be ever remembered....

I ask you friend, do you have any weried name which you want to share. You can share how you got your Pet name too. Comment about it....
