Use of unique numbers as names

NAMING BABIES
In the Euramstranz (Europe, N America, Australia and Newzealand) there is apparently a shortage of first and middle names. Consequently, we find millions of people possessing the same first/middle names.

What are the disadvantages of having few names available for christening children?

1. Limited choice.
2. Confusion to teachers while calling children.
3. Confusion among children while responding.
4. Lack of freshness.
5. Confusion for the Government in preparing voters' lists and citizens' registers.


If new names are to be searched and added what types of names we may add?

1. Secular (irreligious) names as far as possible.
2. Easy pronunciation
3. Meaningful names
4. Without bizarre or ugly meanings.


Will foreign names not be bizarre?

English language as a lingua franca (universal language) imported thousands of words from foreign languages, including non-European languages.

Initially names from foreign languages may appear to be strange. But people get accustomed.

What are the difficulties in naming babies after leaders, sports persons and stars>

1. After the Bolshavik revolution, many people named their children as "Lenin, Stalin, Marx". After the collapse of Sovient Union, people carrying the names might have felt uncomfortable.

2. Children named after film stars and cricketers may face social ostracism if those stars become bankrupt or get involved in crimes.

3. If children named after great leaders become criminals, it becomes unbearable.

What awkwardness meaningful names can cause?

1. A girl named "Lakshmi" (Goddess of wealth) may end up as a bigger.
2. A man named "Vivek" (Wisdom) may die of drug poisoning.

Should we name children "Kiki" (some meaningless sound)?

That will be more awkward.

Should babies be given citizen numbers lasting a life time?

1. Last four digits or three digits of the numbers can be used for calling.
2. The number will be absolutely unique.
