All govt forms n applications have a format..first name, middle name, last name. Now think how will ‘Malti Marie Chopra Jonas’ fit into this?

A woman doesnt want to go through the trouble of name change after mrg coz its her identity. Understandable. But y do u want ur child to go through that hassle and identity crisis? Dont complicate. Keep it simple. A system is designed for a reason..after many trials n errors

If a child's name is kept same in all documents from birth, there shouldn't be any issue right?

In the 10th during boards they tell us to write name on hall ticket as per Aadhar card. And then in 12th for all competitive exams they tell us to write as per 10th marksheet.

Nowadays better to have same name format as per Aadhar card as that's the requirement and aadhar is generally the first document made where full name is displayed. Birth certificate has only the first name against Name column. Father & Mother's name column are different in there.

MaltieMarie is one name I think.. moreover she is American citizen so saved from Indian issues.

Issue is govt officials changing spelling when issuing old to new even when all documents and proof are given. I am experiencing this with my election card. Thankfully that's not required much as it is allowed am not struggling but still it is annoying that they just added one extra alphabet as they thought that's how it should be written even when all my other documents have my proper name. Here training of govt officials should be the priority.

As and when they get married they can decide along with their partner what's name to be given to their child.

Though I agree that these celebs write names differently on social media and in official document name might be worded differently.

Why even have sur names

Stop giving sur names

Why should mom dad last names be added at all

and why are ppl not keeping old names like lakshmi, Juhi, madhuri, nandini etc nowadays

What are these weird names dua, raha, taimur, tiger they will be made fun in school

While keeping names make it easy for kid and others all life

Ppl would keep simple names of goddess or related before from history actually

That’s understandable. We don’t introduce ourselves with our full name..nor do friends n family address us as such. Mostly its for official use

OK seriously.....this is going to be my last reply to you.....because you are not just getting my point.....Its about being practical......you are now bringing interfaith marriages in this......do you think that in a normal interfaith marriage the couple is going to worry about the name?? There will be hundreds of other issues they will have to worry about....name will be the last......hence trivial.....this is why I called it misdirected.......because instead of focusing on other problems that would ACTUALY affect the life of the couple difficult ....u focused on the name.....which would not make an iota of difference in anyone's life.....

What suggestion do you have about how the kids should manage their mile long names after a couple of generations??

In my mind ...the men women thing was not even there.....I just thought about the practicality part....because I am not a feminist.....I don't look at things from male-female angle......I don't care if the mother's name is used as a surname.....for me personally....name is just an identifier....language is just a means for communication.....I don't argue over these TRIVIAL issues....

My concern is how does Dua deal with this when she is married and has to name her kid....that is all....you have a solution for that....bring it on..

Sorry but I don't get why are you so agitated with my reply? I was neither disrespectful and sticked to your point which I disagreed with. You are just assuming what is trivial for you should be trivial for everyone.

You pointed more than just practical aspect. One on Practicality and other calling it "Misdirectional Feminisim" and name don't matter. I argued your other two points. As you said you don't want to reply but I am putting out my argument on your both point:

1. Misdirectional feminism and Name is trivial: Name is not trivial, because of all I said before and it affects psyche of society. Bringing interfaith and intercaste marriages is utterly important to understand why name is not trivial. There was a study about caste discrimination in India. Kids were made to compete in exam without knowing opponent;e name and they did very well. But when kids from lower caste knew their opponent is upper caste kids they did bad in exam. Why? Because it affected their psyche and confidence. Hence, NAME matters. In this context it is also because surname is strongly related to caste in India. In context of naming child, it affects positively for identity, family dynamics and sense of equality with long term impact.

About misdirectional feminism, where do you draw the line? Couple of days ago an Iranian girl stripped in protest and now people calling it misdirectional because clothes don't matter? Whenever it is about taking ones freedom away from them, it remains relevant and important

2. Practicality : In larger argument, if we as a society see only practicality and convenience, trust me we would not have women in schools, military. It was never practical to modify system at that moment. In a company, it is also not sometimes practical to accommodate women, or give them 6 months maternity leave. These things are for larger good and future.

What kid can do? Many things, like CHOOSE when they are adult. They can choose which one to pass one, combine and pass on, drop one Whatever. I mentioned briefly, in future when society raises such problems, system gets modified accordingly and will become better. But one has to start it today.

Little Dua already Inherited her mom's fame and glory. 13 pages discussion just on her name

I for one love this trend of joining mom dad last name to make a name for the child. They are literally starting their own family not just irl but on papers too.

As for the complications of what to do when that child becomes an adult, they can choose what name they want to pass on to their own kid with their partner. It's not rocket science, but names matter.

Names are the first things chosen by parents, the first gift given to kids from their parents. It's not just name, but they have lots of emotions attached to it. Giving a child only dad's surname is taking away their mom's lineage and identity. This is the kind of suppressed oppression women have been enduring for years, it's been so long that women themselves don't realize what they have been missing, have gotten used to just giving up their identity without even knowing.

Some cultures don't have surnames but they add their father's name instead. (Eg: son= jay, dad=ramesh, so son's name will be jay ramesh)

Removing surnames won't ever go away.. forget India even world over. Most people have too much pride associated with their surnames. If removed best but how then individuals will be identified.

Too many People with same names. Though even with surnames there are people with exact same full names but yes numbers will be less as compared to only sticking with single names.

Dua, Raha are such small and cute names. Don't see any issues with that. Child will be able to write and say it properly. They are easy for the kid and all. Taimur is indeed connected to history just that some don't like that connected. Remember famous Aarushi murder case. Know Parents who didn't name their child Aarushi cos of it.

About tiger .. thats odd sure. really wonder if he was teased. Kids are teased one way or the other. There won't be anyone mostly who hadn't been teased for something or the other. If you are not liked by someone they will find a way to tease, if not name then something else. Part and parcel of growing up..basically living our life.

Many people now don't use surnames which identifies them by caste..Sharma,Tiwari,patel,Iyer,Shetty They choose Kumar,Singh..or father's first names. Many women and men keep their mother's first name as their middle name. SLB,Shyam Meera Singh,Katikeyan Hemlata(journalists).

I personally would have preferred Malti Priyanka Jonas..or Malti P Jonas. Dua Deepika Singh-Dua D Singh.
