In Southern districts of Kerala, initials of our name indicate the first letters of a child's parents while in middle and northern regions, mother's name is nowhere included and initials of a kid include his father and his family name only. What about you people? Also, give expansion of your names.
My intials is T.S. Thankarajan for father and Selvi for mother.
May be given in reverse order also, if the kid is a girl. It's only personal preference.
Here, another procedure is also there, to include any one of the parents' name.....particularly, if boy, given father's name and if girl, given mother's name.

I am a Punjabi settled in U.P. There is no tradition of using either father's or mother's name in an individuals' name. an individual's name is entirely his own and he only uses family surname as a suffix. My name is G.K. Ajmani (Gulshan Kumar Ajmani). Only 'Ajmani' is surname and the initials 'G.K.' pertain to me only.
S, your name include only family name (for both girls and boys)????? Not even father's name?????
If so, will girls change their names after marriage? In their certificates also, they have to change????
Also, is it necessary that their name according to records should have family name also???

Girls' surname only changes. In some families, there is tradition to change entire name. The girls may get the change notified officially by advertising in a newspaper. But all girls do not do so. They continue to use maiden name for education and employment.
yes, mothers surname never included in any religion. Because i feel from starting men are dominating women
But its not our case yaar....ie. South Kerala people. I think Tamil Nadu also. My daughter's initial is S.S, includes the name of we both.
But my father, mother and brother also.....single initial.....of their father.
In our India, no family, no caste and no religion mother name is included in the name of the members
No yaar...
In southern kerala, 90% initials include mother's name ...including me and daughter. I think it's the correct procedure......a kid should be identified by his parents' name but not by his family name :) :) :) :) :)
Can anyone tell me about initials of British and Americans???? :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
